Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., answers questions from supporters during a sold-out fundraising event at Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood on Thursday. “It’s not worth the energy and effort to try to game out what the others are doing,” Buttigieg said. Even in a Democratic field full of nontraditional candidates, Buttigieg stands out in many ways. A military veteran who deployed to Afghanistan, he is openly gay, and his husband, Chasten, maintains a lively Twitter presence. As mayor, Buttigieg said, he’s had to solve everyday problems and cannot get away with spinning them.
