Pete Buttigieg

What fascinates me about Pete Buttigieg is the deliberate unflashiness of his ambition. A Harvard graduate and Rhodes Scholar could have gone straight to Wall Street or Washington, yet he chose to run a struggling Midwestern city first, and that choice still defines his brand. His real gift, I think, is translation — taking wonky policy about bridges and supply chains and making it sound like common sense on television. As a barrier-breaking openly gay Cabinet secretary, he carries symbolic weight lightly. Whatever office he seeks next, I suspect his calm, explanatory style will age better than that of louder rivals.
