After contests in three states, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is the front runner in the race to be the Democratic nominee for president. But, The San Diego Union-Tribune's editorial board is recommending the country go in a different direction.
The editorial board has endorsed South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg for president of the United States.
"First of all, we liked his centrist policies. We looked at all the candidates in the race and wanted to pick a moderate above all else," Matt Hall, editorial and opinion director at the Union-Tribune, told KPBS Midday Edition. "What rose above for Pete Buttigieg was his military experience, his executive experience, even if it was in a small city, and we like the fact that he had really enthusiastically built some support in the early states, particularly in Iowa and New Hampshire."
Hall joined Midday Edition on Monday to tell us more about what went into the editorial board’s decision.
