NEW YORK - Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg is poised to tap into his deep financial resources to boost operations in several early-voting states in coming weeks, joining other top-tier candidates in the race to Super Tuesday in March.
His campaign is betting a strong finish in the Iowa caucus on Feb. 3 will help quell questions about whether he is ready for the big stage, and persuade reluctant black and Hispanic voters to give him a second look. “If he wins, or finishes strong in Iowa, you will see the national polls flip on a dime. And he doesn’t need the national polls to raise money,” said Patrick Murray, director of Monmouth University Polling Institute.Buttigieg finished the third quarter with $23.4 million in campaign cash on hand, ranking third behind Warren and Sanders at $25.7 million and $33.7 million, respectively. Biden had $8.
In Nevada, which holds its caucuses on Feb. 22, the Buttigieg campaign said it is planning to expand its staff of 36 to inch closer to Warren and Sanders, who have 70 and 50 staff members, respectively. Biden has 40 staff members in the state, his campaign said. Buttigieg so far is receiving almost no support among African Americans, suggesting his bid could tumble as the contest moves to more diverse states after Iowa and New Hampshire, which holds its primary on Feb. 11.
Or you could flush that money down the toilet...both options are essentially the same thing.
I can’t stomach this guy. Shudder
Trumpet Trump waiting on the throne
drop out PeteButtigieg
I read today he's the only(?)candidate not providing insurance to his campaign workers. Let's have some research into that.
Pete’s a great candidate who I’d gladly vote for. Bernie and Warren are too far left and joe is just lost. The most rational choice is someone that’s intelligent, charismatic, moral and slightly left of center like Pete. He may be the best option to beat trump.
Mainstream media is pushing this clown hard, harder than Biden now I think, probably because he's more popular with the younger groups, however, he's still a war monger, just like good ole Creepy Joe Biden, and also a moderate. Nothing will change under their leadership.
Waste of time.
All that McKinsey cash paying off! But no way will the pipsqueak pete get my cash or my vote.
Correction: joining the top-tier candidates. He’s not there yet.
Evidence of a smart campaign. Ride the heels of Harris needing to downsize by announcing your expansion. Smart.
Bathhouses?
Buttigieg thinks he can just become a president with no experience. He hasnt been a governor or held a position in his states legislature, hasn't been a house rep. or a federal senator. He's only been the unpopular mayor of a town. He's unqualified just like Trump.
He Democrats really don’t stand a chance. No wonder they are trying so hard to impeach Trump.
'contender' is a little bit generous
Dear Voters: When the media act as if Biden, Warren and Sanders are the TOP CONTENDERS, know that the MEDIA has chosen them, NOT US.
What Is He Doing To Take On the Abuses of MAGA Corps And MAGA Corps Take Over of the Worlds Resources.
I was wondering if Papa $oros is behind this too, like behind every leftist liberal nazi initiative? I have a tiny suspicion that he is...
silly boy...PeteButtigieg his resume is good, but not the best... and after this presinut, we're gonna have to go with someone with more experience, but we'll keep his resume on file in case we have a position he'd be better suited for.
He's not my type of president even though silicon valley billionaires support him! I've heard a rumor that the former mayor of NYC backs him, but Im not going to change my mind. There is only one democrat I would like to vote for, unfortunately, he is not on the stage!
Pete has more boomer energy than Bernie and it is astounding
GO FOR IT PETE. Yes u have your own issues. But Dems are gonna win this election with Joe, Elizabeth or Bernie at the top of the ticket? DO NOT THINK SO!
? Who ¿
MayorPeteButtigieg has too much desire based rights baggage to be elected to our highest office. Necessary rights will be left in the dust. quote
He should save his time and donate it to a charity like Trump has done since becoming president!! MAGA 2020!! 😂😂😂
Anyone else think it's odd how much money and press the mayor of South Bend gets?
I don’t even know who this guy is? The mayor of El Paso? I just don’t get it... just another white guy...
Zuckerberg reach.
He's a Republican or a replicant. Or both.
Is he the one who's financed by all the billionaires?
Well Street's guy.
All the $& is not going to make him qualified to be president. He may be able to spend enough $$ to convince people that he could win. Even if he wins he still is not qualified to run our country. Ppl in SB are questioning his ability to run that little city.

Yawn. See where Beto is gone?
“Contender” 😂😂😂 That’s funny.
If he didn’t propose affirmative action. I can understand collages restrictions on Asian students or %of high IQ of billions would stock? But loans and work place pay scales breed incompetence with set look at phone workload?
All these candidates seem to be experts at pouring other people's money.
Putting all those PAC dollars to work...
Not sure if America is ready for a Gay president, they were not ready for a female last time
