Klobuchar’s endorsement in particular seemed to give Biden a key boost in Minnesota.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sanders, who has been leading in polls in California for weeks, jumped into a strong lead as soon as the polls closed in the Golden State; he also won Vermont, Utah and Colorado, and was right on Biden’s heels in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11805093\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11805093\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/Joe-Biden-greets-supporters-at-Buttercup--800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Biden, the former vice president, greets supporters at Buttercup Diner in the Jack London District of Oakland as he vies for California's 415 delegates on Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/Joe-Biden-greets-supporters-at-Buttercup--800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/Joe-Biden-greets-supporters-at-Buttercup--160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/Joe-Biden-greets-supporters-at-Buttercup--1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/Joe-Biden-greets-supporters-at-Buttercup-.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe Biden, the former vice president, greets supporters at Buttercup Diner in the Jack London District of Oakland as he vies for California’s 415 delegates on Super Tuesday, March 3, 2020. \u003ccite>(Sam Lefebvre/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Massachusetts Sen.

Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to public office in California was leading the fight against the \"Briggs Initiative,\" which would have banned openly gay and lesbian teachers in California. In Florida, former beauty queen Anita Bryant was promoting a campaign to roll back LGBT rights in Dade County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harvey Milk would soon be assassinated. And in that political environment, the notion of a credible, openly gay candidate for president was simply unimaginable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast forward to 2019, when the small-town mayor with a challenging name to pronounce (let alone spell) announced his run for president. Few thought he had a chance of making it past Iowa, much less winning there. But as he showed his fundraising prowess and became something of a media darling, Buttigieg made believers out of many former skeptics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of what made Buttigieg's candidacy so impressive was that his history-making run seemed so \u003cem>ordinary\u003c/em>. He wasn't running to become the first gay president (actually, some historians say \"bachelor\" James Buchanan, the nation's 15th president, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/pete-buttigieg-wouldnt-be-americas-first-gay-president/2019/03/26/0b7b1eb4-41de-11e9-922c-64d6b7840b82_story.html\">beat him to it\u003c/a>) but rather, to be the first millennial in the White House who was ready to \"turn the page.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buttigieg tapped into a base of LGBT donors who took pride in his candidacy. Of the $81 million his campaign reported raising, 20% of it came from Californians, many most likely gay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet the LGBT community was in no way monolithic in its preference for Buttigieg — and that in some ways underscores how much things have changed in the U.S. I heard more than a few lesbians angrily echo Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar's complaint that no 38-year-old woman with Buttigieg's experience and resume would ever be taken as seriously as he was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other queer 20- and 30-somethings I know supported Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris (before she dropped out). They weren't touched by the historic nature of Buttigieg's run, in part because they're so used to having relatively equal rights that they didn't see the imperative of supporting an openly gay candidate. Some were also simply put off by his moderate politics and strong Episcopalian faith, which might have appealed more to rural white Iowans than to residents of San Francisco's Castro neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"pete-buttigieg\"]I also spoke to one queer activist of color who helped disrupt an LGBT Buttigieg fundraiser in San Francisco, who parroted Bernie Sanders' criticism that Mayor Pete was getting money from billionaires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet — billionaire bundlers and donors backing a gay presidential candidate? Who'da thunk it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It speaks to the inroads Buttigieg and the LGBT movement have made in the U.S. A week ago, a poignant online \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JoeStGeorge/status/1231457032458338305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video\u003c/a> of Buttigieg and Zachary, a 9-year-old boy at one of his town hall meetings, went viral. His written question was, \"Can you help me tell the world I'm gay too? I want to be brave like you.\" The boy was brought up on stage, where Buttigieg calmly said, \"I don't think you need a lot of advice from me on bravery.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That moment encapsulates the real impact of Buttigieg's candidacy. It signals to boys and girls struggling with their sexual identity and fear of being their true authentic selves that they are not alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We sent a message to every kid out there wondering if whatever marks them out as different means they are somehow destined to be less than,\" Buttigieg said Sunday night, when announcing the suspension of his campaign. \"To see that someone who once felt that exact same way can become a leading American presidential candidate with his husband at his side.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A historic candidacy has ended, but it may still open a lot of doors that seemed closed before it began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to public office in California was leading the fight against the \"Briggs Initiative,\" which would have banned openly gay and lesbian teachers in California. In Florida, former beauty queen Anita Bryant was promoting a campaign to roll back LGBT rights in Dade County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harvey Milk would soon be assassinated.

Few thought he had a chance of making it past Iowa, much less winning there. But as he showed his fundraising prowess and became something of a media darling, Buttigieg made believers out of many former skeptics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of what made Buttigieg's candidacy so impressive was that his history-making run seemed so \u003cem>ordinary\u003c/em>.

They weren't touched by the historic nature of Buttigieg's run, in part because they're so used to having relatively equal rights that they didn't see the imperative of supporting an openly gay candidate.

He also addressed critics who say he lacks experience in Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By some standards, I might be considered a newcomer, a little different from the usual candidate.

"content": "\u003cp>In an election year where Democrats are almost singularly focused on beating President Trump, a couple of policy issues have still emerged as incredibly divisive among left-leaning voters: proposals for government to pay for health care, college and student loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a divide that’s been playing out around kitchen tables and on the campaign trail as the programs’ biggest champion, Sen. Bernie Sanders, surges ahead of most of his primary opponents — and his closest rival, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, goes on the attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this election season, we have been told by some that you must either be for a revolution or you are for the status quo. But where does that leave the rest of us? Most Americans don’t see where they fit in that polarized vision,” Buttigieg told supporters Tuesday night in New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 38-year-old candidate has positioned himself as a center-left candidate who supports giving Medicare “for all who want it,” and free college to kids in families making under $100,000 a year — but not everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buttigieg isn’t alone in feeling skeptical about these types of proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s expanding Medicare to all Americans (whether they want it or not), making public college tuition free or providing student loan forgiveness, polls show that Democratic voters are split on these issues (though Republicans are more squarely opposed to them).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Divide Among Liberals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A poll commissioned in January for KQED News by Change Research found that broadly, California Democrats like free college, loan forgiveness and Medicare for All as ideas — their favorability ratings among Democrats are above 70%. And, a stunning 92% of Democrats in that poll said they support Medicare For All.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things get a little squishier when you ask independents — who \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ror/60day-presprim-2020/historical-reg-stats.pdf\">make up more than one-quarter of the California electorate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Change Research poll found independents more conflicted over Medicare for All, supporting it by 57% to 40%. And other polls, like the Public Policy Institute of California survey that asked more detailed questions, show some more nuance among Democrats and significant differences among different demographic groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a November survey, 42% of Democrats polled told PPIC that they support single-payer insurance like Medicare for All — but 36% said they prefer a mix of private and government insurance, which is what more centrist candidates like former Vice President Joe Biden and Buttigieg are pushing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the broader electorate, self-identified liberals are the most likely (47%) to support single-payer insurance, compared to 18% of moderates and 8% of conservatives. Single payer was also much more popular with 18-44 year olds (40% support); while half of people over 45 said they don’t believe it’s the responsibility of the federal government to provide health care at all — even though people over 65 get Medicare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos, renters and people who make less than $40,000 a year were all more likely to support single payer than other groups as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what gives?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Political Ideology Isn’t Pure\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The first thing to understand, said Stanford University’s Jon Krosnick, who studies political attitudes, is that almost no one is consistently liberal or conservative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost everybody is a mix of liberal and conservative,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Krosnick said, most voters pick a party based on a single issue, or even a handful of policy areas they are passionate about. So just because two people are Democrats, or consider themselves liberal, they may have come to that position for very different reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Irvine professor Peter Ditto agrees. He studies partisan political bias — how political ideology biases our political judgments and behavior.

Bernie Sanders, surges ahead of most of his primary opponents — and his closest rival, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, goes on the attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this election season, we have been told by some that you must either be for a revolution or you are for the status quo. But where does that leave the rest of us? Most Americans don’t see where they fit in that polarized vision,” Buttigieg told supporters Tuesday night in New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 38-year-old candidate has positioned himself as a center-left candidate who supports giving Medicare “for all who want it,” and free college to kids in families making under $100,000 a year — but not everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buttigieg isn’t alone in feeling skeptical about these types of proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s expanding Medicare to all Americans (whether they want it or not), making public college tuition free or providing student loan forgiveness, polls show that Democratic voters are split on these issues (though Republicans are more squarely opposed to them).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And, a stunning 92% of Democrats in that poll said they support Medicare For All.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things get a little squishier when you ask independents — who \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ror/60day-presprim-2020/historical-reg-stats.pdf\">make up more than one-quarter of the California electorate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Change Research poll found independents more conflicted over Medicare for All, supporting it by 57% to 40%. And other polls, like the Public Policy Institute of California survey that asked more detailed questions, show some more nuance among Democrats and significant differences among different demographic groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a November survey, 42% of Democrats polled told PPIC that they support single-payer insurance like Medicare for All — but 36% said they prefer a mix of private and government insurance, which is what more centrist candidates like former Vice President Joe Biden and Buttigieg are pushing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the broader electorate, self-identified liberals are the most likely (47%) to support single-payer insurance, compared to 18% of moderates and 8% of conservatives. Single payer was also much more popular with 18-44 year olds (40% support); while half of people over 45 said they don’t believe it’s the responsibility of the federal government to provide health care at all — even though people over 65 get Medicare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos, renters and people who make less than $40,000 a year were all more likely to support single payer than other groups as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what gives?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Political Ideology Isn’t Pure\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The first thing to understand, said Stanford University’s Jon Krosnick, who studies political attitudes, is that almost no one is consistently liberal or conservative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost everybody is a mix of liberal and conservative,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Krosnick said, most voters pick a party based on a single issue, or even a handful of policy areas they are passionate about. So just because two people are Democrats, or consider themselves liberal, they may have come to that position for very different reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Irvine professor Peter Ditto agrees. He studies partisan political bias — how political ideology biases our political judgments and behavior. Ditto said that while most Americans identify with a political philosophy or party, they really “have a hodgepodge of beliefs and attitudes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(People) identify with groups or tribes — so when they’re saying ‘I’m a liberal’ or ‘I’m a conservative,’ ‘I’m a Democrat or a Republican,’ they’re saying something about the kind of people that they go along with,” Ditto said. “And sometimes when they buy into that, they have to kind of shape their attitudes to fit those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while a large percentage of voters identify as liberal, or Democrat, that doesn’t mean they all agree with the idea of “free” programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For some African American voters, the aftermath of the shooting was their first close look at the mayor — and not a positive one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aiming to turn that around, the Buttigieg campaign last year released \"The Douglass Plan,\" named after the famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass.
