Three former Obama administration officials are endorsing Pete Buttigieg for president, as the South Bend, Indiana, mayor continues to stress comparisons between his presidential run and that of Barack Obama's.
Obama's former special assistant and personal aide Reggie Love is endorsing Buttigieg, the campaign said. Love, who began his time with Obama as deputy political director in his Senate office, was a ubiquitous presence at Obama's side during the 2008 presidential campaign and at the White House through most of his first term.
But he said he offered his endorsement because the campaign actively encouraged him to, and because he believed Buttigieg shares the same approach to public service that Obama did."The parallels are important because I grew up playing sports and there's the whole idea is you go out and you leave everything out on the field and you see where everything falls," Love said."You go and you compete and sometimes David beats Goliath.
