Pete Buttigieg to Democrats: Identity politics have to go
Buttigieg cites polling showing only 18% of Americans prioritize electing a woman and stresses focusing on policies over identity to win elections.
- Pete Buttigieg recently challenged Democrats to move beyond identity politics, emphasizing results over categories in voter trust.
- This statement responded to a passage in Kamala Harris' forthcoming book '107 Days', where she named Buttigieg her first running mate choice if she were a straight white man.
- Buttigieg cited examples like Barack Obama winning Indiana in 2008 and his own mayoral tenure as proof that effective communication matters more than identity politics.
