Pete Buttigieg Won’t Run for Senate, Stoking Speculation on 2028 Presidential Campaign

Hannah Knudsen13 Mar 2025

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is forgoing a Senate bid in Michigan, sparking rumors that he is instead eyeing yet another presidential run in 2028.

Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, was eyeing the open Senate seat in Michigan after Democrat Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) revealed he would not to seek reelection. Following the senator’s January announcement, a source told CNN that Buttigieg was taking a “serious look” at making a run for the open seat. However, he has now officially declined to run in Michigan.

“I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race,” Buttigieg announced Thursday morning.

“I remain enthusiastic about helping candidates who share our values — and who understand that in this moment, leadership means not only opposing today’s cruel chaos, but also presenting a vision of a better alternative,” he continued:

    While my own plans don’t include running for office in 2026, I remain intensely focused on consolidating, communicating, and supporting a vision for this alternative. The decisions made by elected leaders matter entirely because of how they shape our everyday lives — and the choices made in these years will decide the American people’s access to freedom, security, democracy, and prosperity for the rest of our lifetimes.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
The optics of him with the faux breast feeder is right up there with Dukakis in the tank when he was running.  The optics make him laughable.

He is a 1 percenter on a good day.  Actually, there are more folks that will vote for Kamala Harris than him, and she is no prize.
