August 31 at 10 00 eastern on book tv on cspan 2. South bend indiana mayor and 2020 candidate Pete Buttigieg was in New Hampshire for a town hall where he took questions and met oneonone with voters. This is about an hour. Mayor pete thank you. Thank you. Wow. What a fantastic group. Thank you so much for coming out. Thank you again, mckenzie, for that great introduction. Mckenzie, for that introduction. I want to thank all of you for taking the time and caring enough about our country to get together and talk about what we are going to do to make things better. We are at a difficult moment in the life of this nation. We are at a chaotic and unstable and frightening and divided moment. But, i believe that it is in our hands to change all of that.
