Buttigieg appearance on New Hampshire talk radio fuels 2028 presidential race buzz

Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation in President Biden’s administration, recently made an appearance on New Hampshire talk radio, sparking rumors of a potential White House run in 2028. As Buttigieg’s tenure as transportation secretary is coming to an end, speculation is growing about his future political plans.

During his radio appearance on “New Hampshire Today,” Buttigieg discussed his upcoming plans after leaving office, mentioning that he is looking forward to spending time with his family and not rushing into any life decisions. When asked about a potential run for office, Buttigieg stated that he will take the next few weeks and months to consider his options and find ways to make himself useful.

Buttigieg, a former naval intelligence officer and mayor of South Bend, Indiana, rose to prominence during his 2020 presidential campaign. Despite being a longshot candidate, he won the Iowa caucuses and came in a close second in the New Hampshire primary. After dropping out of the race, Buttigieg endorsed Biden and went on to serve as Secretary of Transportation.

Throughout his tenure, Buttigieg has made several visits to New Hampshire, a key state in the presidential primary race. He has also been a regular guest on Fox News, where he has highlighted the Biden administration’s efforts. Some Michigan Democrats have even urged Buttigieg to consider running for governor in 2026.

As Buttigieg considers his future in politics, his appearance on New Hampshire talk radio has reignited speculation about a potential White House run in 2028. Whether he decides to run for office again or pursue other opportunities, Buttigieg remains committed to public service and making a positive impact on communities across the country.
