Pete Buttigieg Gambles On a Different Path for 2028

“Pete Buttigieg has been able to campaign for Democrats across the country more than many of his potential 2028 rivals this past year. One reason: He doesn’t have a job,” Axios reports.

“That’s by choice. Buttigieg said no when top Democrats urged him to run for governor or the U.S. Senate in Michigan this year.”

“That decision is a gamble for Buttigieg’s presidential ambitions. He’s been able to build a national network over the last two years but hasn’t added to his relatively thin resume as a former mayor of South Bend, Ind. and Joe Biden’s transportation secretary.”
