To address climate change, Buttigieg is proposing making the economy carbon-free by 2050

Other topics discussed during the town hall, included education, mental health and foreign policy

"I'm running to be the president who can pick up the pieces and bring this country back together to deal with the issues that have not taken a vacation during Trump presidency,” Buttigieg said.

During the town hall, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana spoke about his 'Medicare for All Who Want it' proposal, which give people the option to enroll in a government health care plan.

"The important thing is not who is covering you, the important thing is that you get good coverage one way or the other. It gives you the choice,” Buttigieg said.

James Smith who lives in Fort Mill, South Carolina is supportive of the proposal. He said the town hall helped him decide the candidate he will vote for.

“Up to this point, I was on the edge who was the important candidate but having listened to him, he is the true man. I can’t believe anyone would not want to vote for Pete,” Smith said.

The healthcare proposal also resonated with North Carolina resident Kathi Klein.

"I like his idea on it. The other thing is that climate change should be the number one priority,” Klein said.

To address climate change, Buttigieg is proposing making the economy carbon-free by 2050.

"If we really mean business about national security that means securing our future and that’s why we are going to treat climate change like the security threat that it is and mobilize America to do something about it,” Buttigieg said.

This is at least the second time Buttigieg has visited Rock Hill this year, which has helped him solidify or gain support in a key state.

“I think he’ll bring good change so for the South Carolina primaries, he would be my number one,” South Carolina resident Lorell Lovett said.

The South Carolina Republican National Committee released a statement following Mayor Pete’s visit.

“Pete Buttigieg has spent his entire campaign jumping from one hot-button issue to the next in an attempt to remain relevant. Unfortunately for him, this schtick won't fool the voters of South Carolina who know that his radical policies would raise their taxes and rapidly expand the size of the federal government,” RNC Spokesman Joe Jackson said.

Other topics discussed during the town hall, included education, mental health and foreign policy.
