Former President Jimmy Carter suggested Pete Buttigieg's campaign is searching for answers after a disappointing fourth-place finish in Saturday's South Carolina primary, the first test of candidates' support in a state with predominantly African-American voters.

Buttigieg and his husband Chasten paid a visit to Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter on Sunday morning, joining them for breakfast here in Georgia, which holds its Democratic primary on March 24.

Carter told reporters at Buffalo Cafe in Plains that he is fond of Buttigieg, mentioning their work on a Habitat for Humanity project in South Bend, Indiana, where Buttigieg was mayor. But the 39th president, who has not endorsed a candidate, also weighed in on Buttigieg's path forward after South Carolina.

"He doesn't know what he's going to do after South Carolina," Carter said.

"Everyday we'll do the math," Buttigieg replied. He called Saturday a "convincing" victory for former Vice President Joe Biden.

I think I was told on the 2nd and 9th - one in Warren and one in Detroit. I wonder if they will happen.

Hopefully he will end up in some sort of administrative post. I think with some federal government experience, behind him, he's going to be a force with which to be reckoned with, in the future.
