If he is successful he will become the youngest and first openly gay president of the United States.

The Guardian YouTube network:

"So much of what Christ's teachings are about has to do with how we take care of the least amongst us." And a big AMEN to that.

[geoffreybank]

He checks all the right boxes and we've seen crazier things happen..who knows how far he will go!

[MICHGO]

I DON'T KNOW WHY THE GUARDIAN NEEDS TO HAVE MUSIC DROWNING OUT PEOPLE SPEAKING. I WANT TO HEAR PETE NOT THEIR PLAY LIST.

[walterchaffee]

I cannot get enough of this guy! He is so honest and forthright it makes my head spin. I want him as president of this country. We need his leadership more than ever

[billc]

He's brilliant - just saw hm on Rachel Maddow - she was insufferable, self promoting - he was excellent - he is genuinely intelligent and real - and needs to be the next president. She conducted a terrible interview and he showed himself to be the best man - best person to be president.

I’m a homosexual 18 year old male who supported trump last election even though I couldn’t vote then. Now that I can vote I’m voting for Pete. He gives me hope that I’ll be accepted by people and can do anything despite my sexuality...

[rockkauffman]

He seems to be the most Qualified on everything I believe is in my core

[lugano]

The background musak is annoying and unnecessary.

[miloguichard]

His intelligence makes me quiver! His honesty makes me weep. Since 2016 I lost nearly all interest in politics but this guy is bringing it back

[grahamscott]

Love this guy - American, this is your person for President

[lehmazin]

Just like all of us, Pete is part of what makes America great!

[maymac]

Pete young while intelligent and experienced looks/sounds much much more presidential than Sociopath in WH.

[DiaboloMootopia]

Pete cares about the world in 2054 but most young people see it differently. He doesn't have a serious plan to deal with climate change. We support Bernie Sanders for that and many other reasons!

[tsbreakout]

I love the fact he knows Norwegian. I’m learning Danish right now.

[matsbjur]

Pete and Andrew Yang are by far the best candidates. Intellectual, sense-making, humble.

[normanduke]

Pete will have just turned 39 on his Inauguration Day, Jan.20, 2021.

[ShiceSquad]

If he gets nominated, I'll vote for him. Otherwise, I'll write in Yang 3:-)

[Anonymous-eoer]

So if he became president.. would his husband be the First Lady or the First Man?

[oscararborist]

The background music is annoying and distracting.

[sesame]

Found the perfect song for Mayor Pete's campaign. "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles. Just give it a hard look at the lyrics please and you'll know what I mean.
