Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Pete Buttigieg's campaign kickoff is a bonding moment for this father and son
WASHINGTON – Matthew Miller, 25, didn’t know how his family would react when he decided to tell them he is gay.
He certainly didn’t expect, five years later, to take a road trip to Indiana with his father – a Republican who proudly slapped a “Pete 2020” bumper sticker on his car – to witness Pete Buttigieg, the first openly gay Democratic candidate for president, officially kick off his campaign.
“My dad and I thought it would be a great moment to share together,” Miller told USA TODAY before departing from upstate New York.
Because both had to work Saturday, they planned to drive overnight to arrive at South Bend around 3 a.m. Sunday. To help keep them awake, they had the “buttijam” playlist that Buttigieg’s husband, Chasten, posted on social media Friday for all the road warriors.
