Pete Buttigieg is getting a lot of buzz. He made 7 million this weekend and he hasn't officially announced. I think that is around the corner.

Buttigieg raised $7 million in two months, not in two days. And he already announced, back in January.

..you're right about the 7 million for the quarter i guess but they made it sound like it was in a weekend...as for announcing i researched it and he did announce an exploratory in late January...and as of today listening to morning joe they were talking about the fact that it wasn't official yet but i will look further into it..now i'm curious!

He hasn’t officially announced his campaign yet, but South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg has met the criteria to get on stage for the first two Democratic Party presidential debates, to be held in June and July. Buttigieg tweeted Monday that he raised more than $7 million in the first quarter of this year.

And while Sunday’s first-quarter fundraising deadline prompted increased calls for money from all of the 2020 candidates, it’s not just quantity of money they’re seeking—it’s the quantity of donors.

In order to appear in the first two debates, the Democratic National Committee has added new criteria: Candidates must either earn 1% support in multiple polls or receive campaign contributions from 65,000 individuals and a minimum of 200 unique donors per state in at least 20 U.S. states. Last May, the Republican National Committee voted to disband its debate committee, suggesting that the party does not have plans to host its own presidential debates.......

I launched a presidential exploratory committee because it is a season for boldness and it is time to focus on the future. Are you ready to walk away from the politics of the past?

just a thought...i hope he announces before Biden......o.m.g. Biden is in a bit of trouble regarding kissing a girl during a campaign...it's likely she isn't the only one...sigh.....men

Are we sure "the Biden kiss" didn't involve a sister, niece, daughter/in-law, or the daughter of a bereaved constituent?

Let's just make sure we don't repeat some scandal like Gary Hart D-CO 1978-87 had during his Presidential bid. We don't need to ruin anyone else's political career over crap.
