Aurora’s Crowne Plaza Denver Airport Convention Center was buzzing with excitement as former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg took the stage Saturday.
The crowd of an estimated 8,500 cheered wildly as Buttigieg took the stage following the Nevada caucuses where the presidential candidate took third place behind Senator Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Buttigieg leaned heavily on his position as a moderate in an election full of political extremes, differentiating himself from Senator Bernie Sanders’ more socialist stances and heavily criticizing President Donald Trump.
“Aren’t you ready to put those tweets behind us?” Buttigieg asked the cheering crowd.

This is a great story! I love the angle you took by emphasizing Pete’s appeal to the political “middle.” Your quotes about the 9-year old boy were very heartwarming and powerful as well. You also did an amazing job of providing background information and context. I enjoyed reading your story and am glad you got to cover this event!
