On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who appeared in his personal capacity, responded to a question on if the Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, will ever support a ceasefire and arms embargo on Israel to win votes by stating that Harris is “behind peace. She’s one of the first people to have spoken out in the administration about a ceasefire. It has to be the kind of ceasefire that comes with the hostages coming home,” And has “been very focused on outreach to those who are taking to the streets, because...

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump has set records for lying. Anchor Dana Bash said, “Does Senator Vance have a point when he said that we should hear more from Governor Walz himself or even Vice President Harris to correct the record?” Buttigieg said, “No, he doesn’t. And the fact that a veteran wants to go out and disparage another veteran just goes against certainly everything I learned during my time in service. Look, I think in many ways it’s the exception that proves the rule. If the only...

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg slammed recent attacks against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) by former President Trump as “mushy and lazy” on Friday, suggesting Trump’s heart may not be in the race anymore. “It’s also pretty mushy and lazy for Donald Trump’s best attack to be, what was it, ‘He’s heavily into lotsa different worlds,’ like?” Buttigieg said on CNN’s “The Source” with anchor Kaitlan Collins.

While appearing on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlin Collins, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized former President Donald Trump’s recent public appearances, saying he’s “lost a step.”“Sometimes you get the feeling that Trump’s heart isn’t in this anymore, the laziness of his attacks, not to mention the, again, lack of any coherent account of what he’s actually going to do to make Americans lives better,” Buttigieg said. “You can just tell that he’s lost a step. You know, he’s getting mushy or fuzzy or more confused.” Discussing a Thursday press conference Trump held, after which he was accused of rambling...

Vice President aspirant and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said this week that not only does abortion liberate women, “men are also more free in a country where we have a president who stands up for things like access to abortion care. Men are more free.” Buttigieg, who contends that he is married to a man, is right about that. Abortion does in fact make men free. They are free from their fatherly duties, thus allowing them to prey on women—in the name of liberating them—while appearing to be on their side. It’s a dream come true. In an article...

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed the Republican Party “long ago sacrificed their claim to be the party of family.” Buttigieg said, “It kind of classic projection, right? The very things he’s talking about, virtue, strength, security, family, those are all things that Trump’s Republican Party has completely abandoned, making any claim to. Virtue, really? In a party led by Donald Trump with the affairs and the porn stars and everything else that is associated with that guy. Security? When we’re talking about a party led by somebody who has been rolled repeatedly...

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg joined a “White Dudes for Harris” fundraising call in an effort to raise money for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, during which the subject of abortion was unsurprisingly mentioned. But what was perhaps less expected were some of the remarks made by Buttigieg. During the call, which – according to the New York Times – was attended by over 20,000 men, Buttigieg promoted the frequently echoed ‘abortion-as-freedom’ message. “I’m so glad that she has made freedom the theme of her campaign because in so many ways, that’s what is at stake,” Buttigieg began....

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg praised abortion for making men “more free” during a virtual campaign event called “White Dudes for Harris” on Monday. “I’m so glad she has made freedom the theme of her campaign because I think in so many ways that’s at stake,” Buttigieg said of Vice President Kamala Harris...“Of course, women’s freedom is Exhibit A after Donald Trump demolished the right to choose. But, of course, men are also more free in a country where we have a president who stands up for things like access to abortion care. ... “Pete Buttigieg is right. Men...

For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed. Just one week has passed since the Democratic Party ousted President Joe Biden from the 2024 ticket and essentially coronated Vice President Kamala Harris to be his successor — and while questions are still mounting about Biden’s true condition and why he ultimately agreed to step away from the campaign, there are bigger questions...

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a podcast released Saturday that attacks aimed at Vice President Harris claiming she was hired due to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are “a bad look for Republicans.” Asked about the attacks by The New York Times’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro said on the outlet’s “The Interview” podcast, Buttigieg argued they are likely to backfire on Republicans. “Well, I do think that those attacks have been a bad look for Republicans,” Buttigieg, who is seen as a possible contender for likely Democratic presidential nominee Harris’ running mate, responded.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has joined other Democrats in attempting to goad former President Trump into debating Vice President Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, in the coming weeks, suggesting Trump is “afraid” of his new rival. Trump’s team has said the 78-year-old former president will not agree to debate at this time because of the rapidly evolving campaign landscape. President Biden, 81, dropped his reelection bid less than a week ago and quickly endorsed Harris, 59, to take his spot at the top of the Democratic ticket. Buttigieg, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday, suggested there...

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg weighed in on former President Trump’s decision to elevate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) to his 2024 running mate, comparing him to former Vice President Mike Pence. “I guess maybe not as a politician but as a human being what I’ll say is that I hope things work out a little bit better for JD Vance than they did for Mike Pence,” he said Friday evening on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Friday lamented President Joe Biden's rocky debate performance but defended his status as the Democrat nominee. In an interview on MSNBC, Buttigieg conceded "It wasn't the debate I would have loved for us to have." "I know what it's like, to have a night on the campaign trail or a day or a moment or an event or an interview that you go back and say, ‘I would have done this different or done that different,' " he said. Buttigieg went up against Biden in a debate in 2020 as Buttigieg was seeking the Democrat...

When it comes to handling a pair of toddlers, Pete Buttigieg, the unflappable Secretary of Transportation, may appear a little jet-lagged. Pete and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg, raise their two-year old twins, Penelope and Gus, in Traverse City, Michigan, where they recently moved full-time from Washington to be closer to family. The kids call Pete "Papa," and Chasten "Daddy." Asked if they are a good cop/bad cop duo, Pete replied, "I don't know if we have it down to good cop/bad cop. I think of myself as the bad cop, but you think I'm a pushover, don't you?" "You are...

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was asked on CBS News' "Face the Nation" about the $7.5 billion taxpayers have been levied for a nationwide EV charging station network. In the over two years since the funding was announced, the Federal Highway Administration (FHA) has managed to produce only seven, despite the announced plans call for a half million stations being built six years from now by 2030. Buttigieg was unfazed when asked about the numbers.

Joe Biden’s Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, has claimed that the spate of recent Boeing incidents involving turbulence is due to “climate change.” Appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, Buttigieg predicted that turbulence is something that will continue to “affect American travelers, whether here or abroad.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg faulted climate change for the increase in severe turbulence on commercial airline flights while citing estimates that it has shot up by double digits over recent decades. “The reality is, the effects of climate change are already upon us in terms of our transportation,” Buttigieg told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “We’ve seen that in the form of everything from heat waves that shouldn’t statistically even be possible threatening to melt the cables of transit systems in the Pacific Northwest,” he went on before citing “indications that turbulence is up by about 15%.” Since taking...
