Fox News political analyst Brit Hume called 2020 Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg the “most impressive” candidate since former President Obama ran for the White House in 2008.

“I think Pete Buttigieg is the most impressive, by far, candidate in terms of just raw political talent in the Democratic field, and he may be the most impressive candidate I’ve seen since the emergence of Barack Obama. He is as fluid as he can be. He seems to have something to say about nearly every issue. He seems comfortable on the big stage, articulate, even humorous,” he said Monday.
