An interview by the Guardian.
The latest poll has him in third place.
From the Guardian.
"He is the son of a Maltese immigrant, Christian, contemporary of Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard, Rhodes scholar at Oxford, city mayor before his 30th birthday, Afghanistan war veteran, piano player, polyglot, fan of James Joyce and, now, at the grand old age of 37, would-be first millennial president."
"Buttigieg speaks Arabic, Dari, French, Italian, Maltese, Norwegian and Spanish to greater or lesser extents but has a Midwestern understatement that seems to neutralise Trump-era sneering and anti-intellectualism."
"He goes up to the 14th floor office where John F Kennedy’s inaugural address hangs above his desk, a photo of Buttigieg with Michelle Obama sits on a sideboard, and Winston Churchill’s 12-volume history of the second world war shares the bookshelves with Making Gay History by Eric Marcus. There is also a fragment of blue stone from Buttigieg’s first trip to Iraq as a civilian adviser; he recites the inscription in convincing Arabic, then translates: “‘Not everyone who rides on a horse is a knight.’ I keep it here to remind myself, just because you have an office or a title doesn’t mean much unless you do something with it.”
Edit: He ain't got no bone spurs.
