Rising Democratic star and 2020 presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg sat down with CNBC’s John Harwood on Monday for an extensive interview. Here is their exchange on how Buttigieg views the turmoil in the administration of President Donald Trump.
John Harwood: Yesterday, the Homeland Security secretary resigned abruptly. This morning, we learned that the director of the Secret Service has been fired by the president. We have an acting White House chief of staff, and acting Defense secretary, acting Interior secretary. Do you think that the government itself is in a state of crisis?
Pete Buttigieg: I think the government’s been in some kind of crisis ever since this president arrived.
