Mayor Pete vs. black voters: South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg has a big problem: He simply cannot convince black voters to be for him. In a South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg has a big problem: He simply cannot convince black voters to be for him. Last week Buttigieg announced his "Douglass Plan" (named after Frederick Douglass) -- a broad strategy to address racial inequality across a variety of fields, from health care to education to criminal justice. The mayor told CNN's David Axelrod that he is "not interested in winning without black support," adding : "I'm interested in winning black support and deserving to win black support." But being "deserving" of winning support in the black community is different than winning that support.
