(Covered live on C-SPAN) Buttigieg Poised to Formally Enter 2020 Democratic Field

Mayor Pete Buttigieg, 37, is scheduled to headline a rally at approximately 2 p.m. EST today. The gathering was originally scheduled to be held outside, but has been moved indoors because of a forecast for a late-season winter storm. (Covered live on C-SPAN)

He’ll become the 18th Democratic candidate to formally enter the race and would be the youngest and first openly gay U.S. president, if elected.

A Rhodes scholar who speaks seven languages, Buttigieg has sold himself as the polar opposite of President Donald Trump. He’s reported raising about $7 million during the first quarter. That puts him roughly in the middle of the pack among those who have shared numbers ahead of Monday’s Federal Election Commission disclosure deadline.

Recent polls in the first two states that will hold Democratic nomination contests early next year -- Iowa and New Hampshire -- showed a surge in support for Buttigieg, even as former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont remain the front-runners.
