Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is considering a run for Michigan’s Senate seat, the latest development to roil what is quickly shaping up to be one of next year’s most competitive and closely watched races.
Buttigieg moved to the Great Lakes State with his Michigan-native husband in 2022, triggering questions about his political future after eventually leaving his post in the Biden administration’s Transportation Department. Last week’s announcement from Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) that he wouldn’t seek another term in 2026 appears to have opened a clear path for Buttigieg.
While he would likely face opposition and wouldn’t automatically coast to the nomination, Democrats said they’re excited by the prospect of Buttigieg jumping in and suggested he would be an early favorite as one of the best surrogates for the party.
“I’m excited,” said former Rep. Mark Schauer (D-Mich.) about the prospect of Buttigieg entering the race. “I think he is a rare political talent, which he’s demonstrated as the Transportation secretary and on the campaign trail.

“Excites Democrats” in what way?
That headline is sooo... wrong.
Go Tony Dungy!
I think they have a pretty low excitement threshold if Buttigieg gets them excited
I thought he said he wasn’t going to run.
LOL...he and his butt buddy are already surrogate parents, so that's the next logical step for the pervert.
Tony Dungy
Who the heck would be excited by this incompetent character?
I wish. I just read where Coach said no way.

“I think he is a rare political talent, which he’s demonstrated as the Transportation secretary...”
I’m not complaining, but Buttplug lived in Indiana(I’m glad to see him gone), but just how can he go run for an office in Michigan?
Aroused?
How did Hillary run for Senator from New York? Or Mitt from Utah?
Apparently he actually lives in Michigan now, so he can run there, as that state is his legal residence.
Actually, that headline is very funny.
I bet the same Democrats were “excited” by Kamala’s VP pick.
Lol.
i moved out of Michigan about 7 years ago. So glad I did...the government has become so leftist. The only good thing is that governors are term limited but Whitmer has been hard at work trying to instituionalize leftism.
The useless democrat will be useless ,LOL
