Ex-South Bend Mayor, Former Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg Has New Book Set For October
(AP/CBS) — Pete Buttigieg's next book has a unifying message.
Liveright Publishing announced that the former Democratic presidential candidate and South Bend, Indiana, mayor had written "Trust: America's Best Chance," scheduled for release October 6.
According to Liveright, the book combines history and personal reflections in an "urgent and soul-searching" exploration into creating a stronger democracy.
"In order for our country to move forward in the years ahead, it will be more important than ever to build trust — trust in our institutions and leaders, trust in each other, and trust around the world in America itself," Buttigieg said in a statement. "Now is a time to consider the foundational role trust plays in our democracy, and what it will take to build the trust we'll need to recover and to advance as a country."
Buttigieg's previous book, the memoir "Shortest Way Home" was a bestseller which sold more than 100,000 copies as he became a national figure during his presidential run.
His new work arrives a month after the release of "I Have Something to Tell You," a memoir by his husband, Chasten Buttigieg.
