Im not sure how many of you were here the first time. 20 i students were interested in meeting a young mayor. President trump president obama saidim he might be the new leader of the democratic party. We spoke with him and able to talk to him. We were excited and felt he might be a leader of the democratic party. At that time i was concerned about making sure i said the word buttigieg b the right way.
