'I just relish the fact that I’m no longer expected to shave every day,' notes PeteButtigieg on his post-campaign beard
The new, more hirsute Pete. Photo: pete.buttigieg/Instagram At the beginning of March, Pete Buttigieg was still a major contender for the Democratic nomination. He had won the Iowa caucuses and was in a solid third place in the delegate count. Only one person had died from the novel coronavirus in the United States.
How are you coping with all of this? What’s the adjustment been like, going from being a presidential candidate to isolation? I’d say the biggest adjustment actually is not so much the physical change. It’s the fact that you go from focusing on one thing with a big team directed at a single and very specific goal to a much bigger picture. Of course I’m still focused on the presidential race and doing everything I can to help Vice-President Biden — but also looking at what’s going on in other races and looking beyond electoral politics in terms of making a difference and being involved.
What do you think are the next steps, at a point when you have to invent your own pulleys and levers? I’ve been talking to everybody here, from my successor in the mayor’s office to clinical staff at our major hospital, which happens to be across the river from my house — I’m looking at it right now. And what we’re seeing is a sense that whatever is happening in places like New York hasn’t come here but eventually will. At least that’s how the clinical professionals are looking at it.
