Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar sat next to each other on their way to tomorrow’s debate

It’s reminiscent of another 2020 candidate photo.

Pete Buttigieg Amy Klobuchar Airplane United

Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a Democrat running for president, poked fun at United Airlines in a tweet where he shared a photo of himself sitting near fellow 2020 hopeful Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).

In the photo, Buttigieg is sitting in the window seat a row behind Klobuchar, who was sitting in an aisle seat.

The seat pairing was similar to one that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) had earlier this year. In the photo, Sanders was sitting a row in front of Warren and another man was dubbed “Middle Seat Guy.” It quickly became a meme.

As for Tuesday’s photo of Buttigieg and Klobuchar—which was snapped just ahead of the third Democratic presidential debate—the Indiana mayor decided to share it himself.

“Very funny, @united,” Buttigieg tweeted, tagging the airline.

The 2020 hopeful eventually got a response from United.

“Hey Pete, we thought you two might want to talk debate strategies before the big night Thursday. ^RY,” United responded.

While there was no galvanizing meme like the previous candidates-on-a-plane photo, many people took the opportunity to crack jokes.

While others seemed charmed by it.
