Pete Buttigieg is hoping to smooth his way to the presidency.
The mayor of South Bend dropped into The Tonight Show on Monday night, where he joined Jimmy Fallon for another edition of "Slow Jam the News," in which he spent his time talking about his platform and what kind of president he'd aim to be.
Of course, the segment was made famous by Barack Obama, who did the slow jamming thing in the final months of his presidency back in 2016.
Buttigieg didn't just talk over the sounds of a sleazy-sounding synthesizer, he also spoke to Fallon about his ambitions, and the fact that Trump compared Buttigieg to MAD magazine's Alfred E. Neuman.
"We talk a lot about elevating the dialogue, so I guess the fact I inspired him to make a literary reference possibly for the first time..." Buttigieg trailed off, to audience laughter.
