Buttigieg heading to Iowa for first in-person event since Trump’s return
- Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will headline a town hall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on May 13, 2025, with VoteVets Action Fund.
- This event follows Buttigieg's January 2025 exit from the Biden Cabinet and his March decision not to run for the Michigan Senate seat.
- The town hall aims to engage veterans and center-right voters by discussing the impact of Trump's early actions and related veterans’ issues.
- Adviser Chris Meagher said, "We're trying out several different formats—town halls, Q&As on social media, podcasts, and shows— to reach people where they are."
- Buttigieg’s Iowa visit fits a broader outreach amid potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates stepping out, but Iowa is less critical than before.
