Mary Schwalm / ReutersGet breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Concord, N.H. — It was, in some ways, an incongruous scene: Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old Democratic presidential hopeful running on a message of generational change, addressing a crowd that was overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly white-haired.
In campaign appearances, he speaks proudly of his husband and his deployment to Afghanistan. But even he seems to realize his age might be a tougher sell.“I recognize that it’s perhaps a little bit less than traditional to have a 30-something Midwestern mayor entering into a conversation about the highest office in the land. I get the audacity,” he told several hundred people jammed into a bookstore event Saturday morning.
In conversations here, many activists spoke fondly of Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden, 76, who seems likely to enter the race soon. Polls indicate both men are leading the large Democratic field.But many said they worried both men represented the past and that they were eyeing a younger candidate to take on the 72-year-old President Donald Trump.

Why Pete Buttigieg's $7 million cash haul is even more impressive than it seemsIf you told Pete Buttigieg on January 1 that by the end of March his presidential campaign would have raised $7 million, he likely would have laughed. And that would have been the appropriate reaction, given how few people even knew the name of the mayor of South Bend, Indiana -- much less that he was one of the many Democrats running for president in 2020.
