Buttigieg ‘More Inclined than Not’ to Run for President in 2028
Buttigieg said he is more inclined than not to run again as polls show a divided Democratic field with no clear front-runner.
- On Monday, Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told podcast host Steven Bartlett he is "more inclined than not" to launch a 2028 Democratic presidential campaign, marking a notable shift from his more guarded public stance.
- Six years after finishing fifth in the 2020 Democratic primary, the 44-year-old remains a top contender in early 2028 polling, with recent surveys showing Buttigieg leading or near the top of the field.
- Buttigieg said becoming a father to adopted twins has fundamentally altered his perspective, explaining, "That's changed all of my equations" regarding the weight of a presidential decision until he became a parent.
- The Democratic field remains unsettled, with recent polling placing California Governor Gavin Newsom and Former Vice President Kamala Harris among top challengers alongside Buttigieg, though none have officially entered the race.
- With the first primary still more than 17 months away, the race for the nomination is only beginning to take shape, and significant volatility persists across the crowded field of potential candidates.
