Pete Buttigieg has been relatively quiet on social media lately, but his supporters and allies have been active. The most important thing happening lately seems to be a pushback against President Trump and Republican policies, with many Democrats and progressives rallying around issues like healthcare, the economy, and infrastructure. Several recent elections, including in New Jersey and Virginia, have also seen Democrats winning and touting their focus on everyday issues like affordability and healthcare.
