Pete Buttigieg, From ‘The Daily Show’ to Fox News, Is Kamala Harris’ Made-for-TV Surrogate

Asked by Stewart, for instance, why he keeps going on Fox News, Buttigieg spoke about the value of meeting not-necessarily-like-minded voters where they are, slipping in “that’s how I won Iowa” so deftly it felt practically subliminal. It’s hard to watch his recent “Fox News Sunday” appearance, in which he managed to completely steer the conversation, peppering in so many ripostes against Donald Trump that Shannon Bream simply could not respond point-by-point, and not see a sort of merry ambition. And on Bill Maher’s “Real Time,” notionally a lighter-hearted setting, Buttigieg tailored his approach slightly, dismantling Vance’s self-presentation and the tech industry’s support of Trump with a grin on his face.
