(FILES) In this file photo taken on April 14, 2019 South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg speaks as he announces his presidential candidacy for 2020 during an event on April 14, 2019 in South Bend, Indiana. - When Pete Buttigieg declared his candidacy for US president, he was greeted with a roaring cheer and the drip, drip, drip of a leaky roof in a former auto plant. The 37-year-old -- who has catapulted from relative obscurity to among the leaders of a crowded Democrat pack in the latest polls -- spoke in front of thousands on April 14, 2019 in the cavernous Studebaker complex in his hometown. The roof was a reminder that the entire plant has been abandoned and decaying for decades. (Photo by JOSHUA LOTT / AFP)JOSHUA LOTT/AFP/Getty Images
