Pete Buttigieg didn't have to put much effort into his Halloween costume.
That's because the South Bend, Ind. mayor and 2020 presidential candidate already bears a striking resemblance to Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens. While campaigning in New Hampshire this week, Buttigieg threw on a Celtics hat and that's all it took for the "costume" to be spot-on.

Was so great to have Brad Stevens come to New Hampshire and give the @PeteButtigieg team a pep talk. #HappyHalloween pic.twitter.com/PC3fExskxc — Kevin Donohoe (@kevinsidonohoe) October 31, 2019
Both Stevens and Buttigieg have acknowledged being each other's doppelgangers, and they definitely embrace it.
"I had a friend a few years ago who said, 'I just met the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and he is incredibly impressive -- and he looks exactly like you,'" Stevens told 98.5 The Sports Hub's "Zolak & Bertrand" back in March.
"I've actually followed him pretty close. And I'll be real candid: I love a lot of his platforms. I'm a big fan of his."
It's clear the feeling is mutual.
