WATCH LIVE HERE: Pete Buttigieg officially kicks off presidential campaign with rally in South Bend, Indiana
Though Pete Buttigieg — the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana — has done nothing to hide his intention of seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, he still has not yet officially announced his candicacy. The political upstart will change that on Sunday, April 14, when he launches his campaign with a rally in his hometown.
But anyone wishing to watch the Buttigieg rally without braving the weather, crowds, or driving all the way to South Bend, can do so online. The live feed, via YouTube, should be watchable below. If there's a problem with that video, C-Span is slated to live stream the rally on its website, starting at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Buttigieg, who was largely unknown on the national political field until recently, has emerged as a potential dark horse candidate among the crowded field of Democratic contenders. According to Real Clear Politics, the latest polls of voters in the bellwether states of Iowa and New Hampshire show him currently in a respectable third place in both states.
"You had Mayor Pete come out, and for no reason, take on the vice president of the United States, when all the vice president said in the past about him is nice things; about his service to the country and his work as mayor," said Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday.
