CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – The State newspaper in Columbia, South Carolina, is endorsing Democrat Pete Buttigieg for president. The editors of South Carolina’s largest newspaper write in an editorial posted late Monday that the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is “the energetic, disciplined candidate who can offer voters a powerful yet pragmatic vision.” The piece notes Democrats’ past success with younger outsiders such as Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. At 38, Buttigieg is younger than any of them. Buttigieg has struggled to attract support from African Americans, but the editors credit him for accepting “responsibility to build trust with African American voters.”
