Progressivism in the United States

Pete Buttigieg has built his campaign around the idea of generational change.
Until launching his presidential campaign in January 2019, Buttigieg was a relatively obscure mayor of South Bend, a city in Indiana of just over 100.000 people, as New York Times reports.

A surprising result of the primary election in Iowa. Technology problems and reporting "inconsistencies" kept Iowa Democratic Party officials from releasing results from Monday's caucus, the much-hyped kickoff to the 2020 primary, AP reported. Contrary to expectations, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg has come to the fore.

Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders were in a near-dead heat on Feb. 4 after delayed and incomplete Iowa caucus results showed them holding an early lead with 62 percent of precincts reporting.

On the eve of the Iowa caucuses, Democratic presidential candidates hustled across the state trying to fire up voters and make a last appeal to those struggling to make a final decision about their choice in the crowded field.

An unusually heated clash of rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination could be the hallmark of Jan. 14 night's televised debate in Iowa.

Just six candidates are gathering in Des Moines, the smallest number yet on a debate stage. That dynamic will offer candidates more opportunities to criticize each other's proposals as well as tout their own.

Cenk Uygur, the founder and host of progressive media company The Young Turks, announced his candidacy for the U.S. Congress elections in 2020.

Elizabeth Warren repeatedly came under attack during Oct. 15's Democratic presidential debate as rivals accused the Massachusetts senator of ducking questions about the cost of Medicare for All and her signature "wealth tax" plan in an attempt to derail her rising campaign.

Democratic presidential hopefuls honed their attack lines hours before July 30's high-stakes debate, with leading liberals Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders expected to battle over who will be a torchbearer for the party's progressive wing.

Twenty-two percent of candidates have scored below the threshold of 150 points, i.e. they answered less than 15 out of 120 questions correctly, in the first round of the university exam called the Basic Proficiency Test (TYT).

When a successor tries to prove that he is different from his predecessor, then he takes an extra administrative burden - the burden of proving himself/herself right.
