WASHINGTON - After a strong debate showing, Pete Buttigieg cemented his status as a genuine White House contender. But with no national experience, minimal black support and as the youngest Democrat running, the openly gay 37-year-old must still win over doubters.

He remains in fourth spot in national polling but has moved the needle in early voting states, taking the lead in Iowa, less than three months before nomination ballots are first cast there, and gaining in New Hampshire. When congresswoman and military veteran Tulsi Gabbard directly challenged his shallow national record, the perpetually unruffled Buttigieg shot back in a fiery demeanour he rarely reveals, suggesting he can turn the passion up a notch when required.'TOE-TO-TOE' African Americans form a critical Democratic constituency, and Senator Kamala Harris, the only black woman in the race, may have been signalling Buttigieg's lack of black support when she invoked president Barack Obama.
