Pete Buttigieg says he has no plans to run for president in 2024
“I don’t have any plans to do any job besides the one I’ve got."

"SNIP.......

In a recent poll, 23 percent of likely Democratic voters said they preferred Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as the party’s 2024 presidential nominee over President Joe Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). But the out secretary says he has no plans to leave the Biden administration anytime soon.

“I don’t have any plans to do any job besides the one I’ve got. It’s taking 110% of my attention and energy,” Buttigieg told Punchbowl News this week, responding to the question of whether he might run for president in 2024 or for the Michigan Senate seat that will become available when Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) retires in 2025. Buttigieg’s husband, Chasten, is from Michigan.

“It’s a privilege to be doing the work,” he continued. “That’s what I’m going to be doing.”

Asked how long he sees himself serving as Transportation Secretary in light of high-profile Biden administration departures like that of White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Buttigieg said the decision was “above my pay grade.”

I really like him and he is one of Pres. Biden’s biggest defenders.
