Forget the beard, Mayor Pete just shaved his head.
Former South Bend, Indiana mayor and Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg has shaved his head, and the internet is loving it.

“All I’m saying is, its not that bad. It needs a little getting used to but I dont think Chasten is complaining so…” echoed user @Ginaddict1010.
Buttigieg also acknowledged his new ‘do’ during his interview. “A little bit about do-it-yourself-hair care,” he quipped. “Let me just say that the work that a barber does is now in my mind right alongside television presenters and professional cooks as something that is a lot harder than it looks.”

Buttigieg previously made headlines for growing a short beard after a photo of him sporting a CGI beard went viral. The new look spawned the hashtag #BeardEdgeEdge, a play on one of Buttigieg’s campaign slogans, “Boot Edge Edge.”
Pete Buttigieg made headlines last year when he became a major contender for the Democratic Nomination for President as an out-gay man. He won the Iowa Caucus earlier this year, before withdrawing from the race and endorsing Joe Biden for the nomination.
