The South Bend mayor went for a run and got to his office early Monday before getting approached by the couple, who had a baby girl not long after saying their vows.
Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana and a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, joined two lives Monday morning just before another was born — all before 10 a.m.
"Obviously there's only one answer to that question," Buttigieg wrote when he posted about the encounter on social media."I corralled a few staff members as they were trickling into the office, to serve as witnesses, and filled out the paperwork. Their rings weren't ready, so one of my colleagues found a ribbon that would do the trick.
Buttigieg, serving his second term as South Bend's mayor, announced an exploratory committee for president in January. Though he has yet to officially start his campaign, the 37-year-old has raised 7 million dollars in the first quarter of 2019, the New York Times reported on Monday. "I do not approve of their politics, but I kind of approve of their chicken," Buttigieg said of the restaurant which allegedly supports Anti-LGBTQ organizations."So maybe if nothing else I can build that bridge. Maybe I will become in a position to broker that peace deal."
