With 14 potential candidates and lesbian teen sex videosno clear frontrunner, there's already a lot to keep track of in the 2020 democratic primaries — but there's also a lot of opportunity. One potential new entrant to the race could make things even more interesting.

Buttigieg had to work closely with Pence when Pence served as Governor of Indiana from 2013-2017.
There's also the fact that Buttigieg is 37, an Afghanistan war veteran, and a married gay man.

So who is Pete Buttigieg, a candidate whose biography and big ideas could be capturing the attention of progressive Americans? Here are seven things to know.
Before we go creating a whole "her-mee-own vs. her-my-oh-knee" situation, let's get one thing straight: the correct pronunciation of Buttigieg's last name. According to the mayor's Twitter bio, his last name is pronounced "boot-edge-edge." According to Buzzfeed, Buttigieg's husband pronounces it "buddha-judge," which is pretty much the same thing, if you say "boot-edge-edge" fast. Whew, glad to get that one out of the way! Now we can proceed.

In just the last week on his Twitter, Buttigieg has affirmed his support for gun reform, strong action on climate change, and transgender rights. The Chicago Tribunereports that he supports the Green New Deal and single-payer health care.
He is also outspoken about changes he believes we need to make to the democratic institution as a whole. According to the Tribune, he wants to abolish the electoral college, and has proposed changing the composition of the Supreme Court to include 15 Justices, with five of the total appointed by the other 10.

"I was well into adulthood before I was prepared to acknowledge the simple fact that I am gay," Buttigieg wrote in the South Bend Tribune in 2015. He wrote that he came out in so public a manner — after becoming mayor — to help de-stigmatize sexuality for people who might themselves be struggling.
If elected president, Buttigieg would, obviously, be the first gay president. There would also be a First Gentleman!
Buttigieg married his now-husband, Chasten Buttigieg, in 2018. The story of their first date, which Buttigieg writes about in his memoir Shortest Way Home, will give you all the feels.
Buttigieg became a naval intelligence officer in the Navy Reserve in 2009. He was deployed to Afghanistan for seven months as a reservist in 2014, taking temporary leave as mayor of South Bend.
He has both spoken eloquently about what serving in the military adds to experience in government, as well as, erm, tastefully burned, others for their inflated military claims.
Buttigieg went to Harvard, graduated Magna Cum Laude, and went on to earn an honors degree at Oxford during the completion of his Rhodes Scholarship.
His education doesn't completely sum up the role of learning in his life. According to The Guardian, his memoir also shows that he's an expert in parts of American history and has made modernization — and understanding technology — a big part of his policy work as Mayor. A recent anecdote shared by Time editor Anand Giridharadas also showed that he's the kind of guy who, oh, just learns a whole new language so he can read books in the original text.

Perhaps the most important fact of all is that Mr. Rhodes scholar Boy Mayor Buttigieg is not a Ravenclaw — but a Hufflepuff! Chasten Buttigieg had his husband take the official Pottermore quiz, and found that Buttigieg belonged to the house of Cedric Diggory and badgers. Just, loyal, true, and unafraid of toil, indeed!

In addition to being the potentially first openly gay president, Buttigieg would be both the youngest, and the first Millennial, president. Buttigieg is 37 years old, and was born in January 1982. According to the Pew Research Center, "Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019) is considered a Millennial."
Is America ready for a progressive, nerdy, gay, millennial, HUFFLEPUFF president? It's a long road to 2020. But Buttigieg's Twitter prowess, experience speaking to a range of Americans, and compelling personality could just get him noticed. Keep your eye out for Pete Buttigieg. And remember: that's Boot-edge-edge.
