Buttigieg returns to South Carolina to court the Black voters who stalled his first White House run

Pete Buttigieg returned to South Carolina attempting to reintroduce himself and win over Black voters, a group he struggled to connect with in 2020. His visit featured speaking at an NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner where he received standing ovations after focusing on federal dollars and warnings about the country's future. The state is noted as being potentially key for the Democratic presidential primary in 2028.
