, so the candidates largely hid out in the green room, though Cory Booker’s partner, the actress Rosario Dawson, did wander out at one point to collect some fried Alaska walleye. Buttigieg’s slot was late in the afternoon, and the team had already eaten Jimmy John’s, the college town sandwich chain of choice, for lunch, so he missed the actual fry — but with the next stop two hours away, there was no time for fish anyway, just a cup of black coffee as the bus took off.
Visiting a restaurant with a presidential candidate usually involves more hand-shaking than eating, so essential meals are often consumed out of sight from voters, which presents logistical difficulties. Most meals are ordered and picked up while the candidate is still on stage, so it’s ready to eat on the vehicle by the time the event is over.
Buttigieg often begins his stump speech by asking voters to imagine the sun rising on the day that Donald Trump is no longer president of the United States. But the next morning, the sun rose on Buttigieg doing an intense workout before heading out to the bus to shoot campaign video. Of course, the advance team made sure that breakfast was waiting.
The event in Waverly was at a local school gymnasium, packed with 568 people.
