Pete Buttigieg was greeted by a rousing standing ovation, whoops and cheers by the audience in the Democratic bastion of San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO — Pete Buttigieg, the first openly gay major presidential candidate, took his campaign Thursday to San Francisco — a heartland of progressive gay politics — but said he is running “not to be a candidate for the LGBTQ community alone, or for any one group,’’ but to speak to all Americans.

Buttigieg said making tough executive decisions as a mayor that directly affect lives every day is a strong argument for his candidacy. The outpouring of enthusiasm for the midwestern mayor in northern California showcased what appears to be Buttigieg’s meteoric rise as a genuine surprise factor in the 2020 presidential contest — and came on the heels of Buttigieg’s first significant showing in a national political poll.
The South Bend mayor appears to have won ground with a combination of ardent progressivism — abolishing the Electoral College and backing expansion of the Supreme Court — while at the same time addressing the kitchen-table concerns of President Donald Trump's working class voters.
