During an interview broadcast on Monday's edition of CNN's "Cuomo Primetime," 2020 presidential candidate South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) responded to President Trump's statements about Baltimore and Representative Elijah Cummings (D-MD) by stating that President Trump is making America weaker by dividing it and that Russia knew the best way to undercut the United States was to get someone like Trump elected because they understood "that America would become weaker and more divided under his presidency."
