The choices made during these years will determine the American people's access to freedom, security, democracy, and prosperity for the remainder of everyone's lives, which is why elected leaders' decisions are so important, he stressed.
Announcing his decision to not run in either campaign, he asserted that he is very interested to know who will Michigan elect to be its governor and send to the U.S. Senate the next year.
“I remain enthusiastic about helping candidates who share our values - and who understand that in this moment, leadership means not only opposing today’s cruel chaos, but also presenting a vision of a better alternative,” Buttigieg said in a post on X.
