Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is considering a return to public life by running for the Michigan senate seat soon to be vacated after the surprise retirement of Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), Axios reported Tuesday.
Democrat Buttigieg is “taking a serious look”at putting his name forward in 2026, an anonymous source told the outlet, adding “He’s honored to be mentioned for this and he’s taking a serious look.”
He previously served as the 32nd mayor of South Bend, Indiana, from 2012 to 2020, which earned him the nickname “Mayor Pete”.
Peters, who led the Democrats’ Senate campaign efforts the past two election cycles, has announced he will not seek a third term in 2026, creating a highly contested battleground seat expected to be coveted by both major political parties, AP reports.
The 66-year-old’s unexpected decision to step aside after just two terms poses a challenge for Democrats in Michigan during a period of political upheaval.

Carpetbagger
What, doesn’t Southbend want his a$$ back?
So we can now refer to him as “Senator” Rump Ranger.
WILL HE STAY HOME FOR DAYS ON END & NOT EVEN BE IN THE CONGRESS???
Will he be finished chest feeding by then?
Don’t think folks in Michigan would welcome his Detroiters, suburbs or actually any folks in Michigan would welcome his sexual behavior orientation.
Failing up!!
Always "taking a serious look at" and "running for" somebody's seat.
Pathetic.
Running on his suckcess as a podunk mayor and probably the worst SecTrans in the history of the United States?😆😂🤣 what’s his slogan going to be, ‘why vote for competence when you can vote for me’?

Sounds like Buttgig is setting up a run for the White House in 2028.
Yes, he must know he could never win in Indiana. Like Hillary running for senator from New York despite never having lived there, because she couldn’t win in Arkansas.
I don’t think the “Mayor Petey” campaign will get much traction in Deerbornistan.
Pete The Carpet Bugger
Let’s see. Blacks in Detroit. Do they have a problem with people who take it up the butt? What about moozlems in Dearborn?
I’ve heard for him and and his man husband , their legal residence is in Michigan. So legally he lives there now even though he had lived in South Bend Indiana and had been elected mayor there.
Yes it’s a similar situation to carpet bagger Hillary. She could not have been elected senator from her home state of Arkansas.
Hahahaha... Yea, MI is going to take to a carpetbagger fraud, just as well as PA did with OZ...
These people are just nuts.
