SOUTH BEND, Ind.–The ballot for president of the United States in the next election could include a name from Indiana. South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, has talked with former Pres. Obama about the possibility of running for president in 2020, reported CNN.

Cory Booker; former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu; Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti; former Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander; and former Attorney General Eric Holder.
Buttigieg has been a favorite of Democrats nationally, not just in Indiana.

Democrats are anticipating a wide field of candidates in the 2020 election.
