Pete Buttigieg continued spreading his political message on a national scale Friday with a two-segment appearance on ABC's "The View."

All of the hosts from both sides of the political spectrum complimented the South Bend mayor for his thoughtful responses and the ideas he brings to the table.

"The most compelling thing for us is the more people hear our message, the more they seem to be responding," Buttigieg said. "It's really an out of body experience sometimes."

Conservative commentator Meghan McCain pointed out he's the first of the entire Democratic field to give an interview on Fox News Channel, and asked if he thought reaching out to conservatives and the middle of the country overall was playing a part in his recent boost in attention.

"An election's supposed to be about our whole country - the whole thing," he answered. "We can't just concentrate on those areas were people, for the most part, already agree with us."

Part of that for him includes making the argument that Democrats can be people of faith as well as Republicans and independents.

"So much of what Christ's teachings are about has to do with how we take care of the least of us, and what I see now in the White House this celebration of how powerful you can be and how rich you can be as if that's the same thing as virtue."

While Buttigieg is making headway in his presidential campaign, a recent CNN poll shows that may still be a relative achievement. The South Bend mayor was one of five candidates to garner 1 percent of support in the poll out Tuesday. Former Vice President Joe Biden was at the top of the with 28 percent.

Still, analysts are calling him the candidate to watch at this point in the primary.

The best news for Buttigieg in the past week was likely the Saturday development that he reached 65,000 individual donors, which means he gets to join the Democratic primary debates.
