Today Buttigieg appeared in an interview on in an extended interview with Rolling Stone senior writer Stephen Rodrick.

"Buttigieg, speaking from his home office in South Bend, elaborates on the "crisis of belonging" during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as how President Trump has handled the pandemic. The former Democratic presidential candidate, who ended his campaign at the beginning of March, believes that in fighting the coronavirus crisis we can learn what we are capable of doing in a time of disaster," writes Rolling Stone of the interview.

"You're used to being needed in a certain way that involves showing up somewhere," Buttigieg says. "And now you're needed in a shockingly different way, which is to sit tight. And yet, from wherever you are, you have a telephone, you've got the ability to bring joy into people's lives, you've got the ability to spread good information and combat misinformation, and you've got the ability to build yourself up, too."
