Bronin for Buttigieg.

Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin joins a gaggle of other former and incumbent mayors announcing their support of Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, for the Democratic nomination for president. The collective endorsement appears in USA Today this morning.

Buttigieg, who has been a prodigious fundraiser, continues to be stuck at the bottom of the first tier or top of the second, depending on how one measures these things. He has lately been competing in the “safe pair of hands” lane. Ten of today’s 50 endorsements are from Buttigieg’s fellow Indiana mayors.

Governor Ned Lamont delivered an early endorsement to former Vice President Joe Biden. The state’s congressional delegation, all Democrats, has been waiting and seeing, except for freshman Representative Jahana Hayes. She has endorsed Senator Kamala Harris.
