CNN: All eyes will be on Buttigieg and O'Rourke's interactions during the debates [View all]
One key dynamic on debate night will be how South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke interact with one another.
Both younger Democrats are considered rising stars in the party, but their presidential campaigns are going in distinctly different directions: After announcing a presidential exploratory committee with little fanfare, Buttigieg raised nearly $25 million the second quarter of 2019, compared to O’Rourke, who raised $9.4 million in the first 18 days of his campaign but only raised $3.6 million in the second quarter.
Many Democratic operatives believe Buttigieg offered a fresh new face during the presidential campaign, stepping on O’Rourke’s momentum after a failed, but closely watched, Senate campaign in Texas.
