“Pete has demonstrated an unmatched ability and willingness to reach voters from across the political spectrum. He has introduced bold, yet commonsense policies that will address both our nation’s long- and short-term challenges, and has avoided the divisive rhetoric that too often derails these important conversations,” Rice said in a statement shared by the Buttigieg campaign.
“Pete represents the new voice and fresh perspective that our party and our country needs right now, and I’m proud to endorse him,” she continued.
