South Bend Mayor and 2020 Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg was virtually unknown outside his home state of Indiana until two months ago, yet he has managed to surge into third place in polls in Iowa and New Hampshire, which are the states that hold the first primary elections in the race for the Democratic nomination.
