Pete Buttigieg's senior staff is huddling with donors and activists for a series of strategy events in Iowa over the weekend

Pete Buttigieg's senior staff is huddling with donors and activists for a series of strategy events in Iowa over the weekend, according to a schedule obtained by POLITICO.

Timed to coincide with Buttigieg’s attendance at Saturday's Polk County Steak Fry, an Iowa political tradition, the campaign scheduled a private evening dinner with donors on Friday night, before the all-candidate forum the next day. The Buttigieg campaign will then invite donors to a “working dinner and strategy session” with senior staff on Saturday evening at a hotel in downtown Des Moines.

While Buttigieg's donors and staff gather Saturday night, the South Bend, Ind., mayor will kick off his own version of the "Straight-Talk Express," a four-day bus tour with the media joining Buttigieg for the entire time. Buttigieg raised nearly $25 million last quarter, an enormous haul that vaulted him into the upper tier of contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination. In recent weeks, his campaign has focused on rapidly building out its on-the-ground infrastructure in the early states. Buttigieg, who has hovered in the mid-single digits in national polling, has opened more than 30 field offices across Iowa and New Hampshire this month.

Translation: Desperation strategy has begun

his strategy should be to take care of South Bend and walk away from this 2% mess he created

Yawn...another wolf in sheep’s clothing. The communist party, aka, democrats, just can’t help themselves.

He’s bought and paid for by the liberal leftist agenda! President Trump’s agenda is loving this country and the lord Jesus crist! He doesn’t hate America like mayor pete!

Trump has no donors and is entirely self funded from his vast successful fortune. This means trump is not bought and paid for like all other politicians and will act in a way that us best for america. KAG2020

Buttigieg outlines middle-of-the-road approach to health care in new planDemocratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg unveiled his health care plan on Thursday, outlining a middle-of-the-road approach that allows people to opt into a government-backed health insurance option but lets them keep their private insurance plans if they like them. 'he would enhance federal [ACA] subsidies so more people could afford to buy policies on the exchanges.... those with lower incomes who live in states that have not expanded Medicaid would be automatically enrolled' lol, and if you don't want it, you'll still be taxed anyway? Same as the GOP plan to tank the ACA if everyone isn't in, then it is unworkable because all the healthy people won't leverage the sick people 😡Buttigieg is a republican after all. Nationalized healthcare is an all or nothing ordeal. Involving insurance companies complicates things and will just cause more increases in cost.
