South Bend, Indiana Mayor and Democratic Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has had a great week. His campaign raised $7 million in its first quarter and the once-underdog is quickly becoming a contender to clench the nomination for the 2020 election.

But Buttigieg doesn't just want to lead the Union, he officiates unions as well.


In a now-viral Facebook post, Buttigieg shared his encounter with a couple at the mayor's office. They had a special request: that he marry them before the woman's C-section that morning.

Buttigieg happily obliged.

He said in the Facebook post:

"I corralled a few staff members as they were trickling into the office, to serve as witnesses, and filled out the paperwork. Their rings weren't ready, so one of my colleagues found a ribbon that would do the trick. A few minutes later, Gabe and Mary, newly married, left my office with just enough time to get to the hospital."

Later that day, the couple—Mary and Gabe Jones—gave birth to a baby girl.

"It's moments like this that I'll miss when my term as mayor comes to an end," Buttigieg added.

The internet may have shed some tears.

Some felt...less than productive.

And it solidified a persona Buttigieg is rapidly becoming known for.

Now, even more people are regarding Buttigieg as a stand-up guy.

He's even inspired some of the internet's most wholesome memes.

Buttigieg is expected to officially announce his candidacy in the coming weeks, and it's clear that may are ready to cast their vote for him.

Susan Collins Dragged After GOP PAC Boosts Her Campaign In The Wrong Portland

On July 4, 1786, the city of Portland, Maine, was officially founded with its newly-minted name. Almost 60 years later in 1845, Maineiac Francis Pettygrove won a coin toss against Asa Lovejoy and named their soon-to-be incorporated city in Oregon Portland after the largest city in his home state of Maine.

Since then, Portland, Oregon, has swelled to a city of approximately 675,000 people while its namesake boasts a population of just 70,000. In 2026, when people hear Portland, they think of Oregon instead of the original city in Maine.

CNN Just Visited A Struggling MAGA Store—And It Spells Bad News For Trump

CNN correspondent Elle Reeve returned to Whitey Taylor's Trump Town USA in Boones Mill, Virginia, for the first time since visiting in 2023, and her segment shows that business for the Donald Trump-themed shop has collapsed as more MAGA followers break away from the president.

Reeve, in a segment for Anderson Cooper 360, reported that "things aren't what they used to be" for the store. She spoke with Taylor, who revealed that the store, which used to make $12,000 to $15,000 in sales per day now only makes between $1,500 - $2,000 per day. On occasion, Taylor will hit $3,000 in sales if he's lucky.

JD Vance Blasted After Sharing His Absolutely Mind-Numbing Definition Of 'Socialism'

According to Merriam-Webster, socialism broadly refers to economic and political systems centered on collective or government ownership and control of the means of production.

Not exactly a concept requiring a Ph.D. to explain. One would think Vice President JD Vance, a Yale Law School graduate whose party practically uses the word as punctuation, could manage a working definition.
