From Fox News: An appearance by Pete Buttigieg on Friday morning on New Hampshire talk radio is fueling ongoing speculation that the U.S. Secretary of Transportation in President Biden’s administration may be mulling another White House run in 2028.
Buttigieg, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate who is considered a potential contender for the next nomination race, has made numerous radio appearances across the country during his four years steering the Department of Transportation, including a bunch in New Hampshire, which prides itself on being the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state.
But with President-elect Trump a month away from returning to the White House, and Democrats scrambling in the wake of November’s election setbacks to find a path out of the political wilderness, Buttigieg’s latest radio appearance in New Hampshire is grabbing increased attention as the extremely early preseason moves in the party’s 2028 presidential primary race will soon start.
During the interview on New Hampshire Today, host Chris Ryan asked Buttigieg about his future plans.
Buttigieg touted that he will be going to a game, taking time to be with his family and “just focus on being human.”
“But I will find ways to make myself useful, and maybe that’s running for office, and maybe that’s not. I’ll take the next few weeks and months to work through that,” Buttigieg said.
What’s next for @SecretaryPete? @ChrisRyan603 asks him that and more in an in-depth interview about his tenure as @USDOT Secretary. Tune in tomorrow at 6:20/8:20a. Listen live at https://t.co/Oj4t9DAHwL! #NHPolitics ##FITN #iHeartRadio @NewsRadio610 @NewsRadioNH pic.twitter.com/4gxrUO9A3Y
