It was clear the moment Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg took the mic in Orangeburg that the South Bend, Indiana, mayor has a problem in South Carolina
As the Democratic presidential candidate stepped onto the stage set up for him in a white-walled event space, he stared out into a sea of white faces.In more racially homogeneous states like New Hampshire or Iowa, the demographic make-up of the room wouldn't be noteworthy. But Buttigieg was taking the stage in a central South Carolina town home to two historically black universities where the majority of residents are black.
During the two-day trip, Buttigieg held two private roundtables with African American leaders in academia, religion and business."We're hoping that both public relationships that we're building and the ones that we're privately building up will yield dividends over time as we build or organization," Buttigieg told reporters in Orangeburg.
