Is Pete Buttigieg a legitimate contender for the Democratic nomination?

Pete Buttigieg is rising in the polls in Iowa. Is he a legit contender for the nomination?
He is, particularly if Joe Biden continues to falter and moderates are looking for a place to go, people who aren't comfortable with Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. But he's got very little support in the African American community. Hard to win the Democratic nomination without it.
Now that the House has approved a formal impeachment inquiry, what's next?
Well, a few more days of behind closed-door hearings and then the big moment will start later this month when the House Intelligence Committee starts public hearings on whether or not Trump had a quid pro quo with Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden. Those public hearings are key for public opinion on impeachment.
Is a new NAFTA deal imminent?
I wouldn't say imminent. Nancy Pelosi has said positive things about it, but also that a USMCA vote could slip to next year. So, things look positive, but it's not just about to happen.

More than a week after Hondurans cast their ballots in a presidential election, the country is still stuck in a potentially-dangerous post-election fog.
