Summary
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg urged Democrats to stay focused and avoid being consumed by outrage over Donald Trump’s return to prominence.
Speaking to young Democratic officials, he emphasized re-engaging with voters through personal connections rather than relying solely on social media, calling for a return to pre-digital campaign strategies.
Buttigieg also pledged to defend President Biden’s achievements, warning that Republicans, including Trump, might attempt to take credit for them.
He cautioned Democrats against being paralyzed by shock tactics and hinted at remaining active in politics, though he withheld specifics about his future.
He is a conformist and a party creature through-and-through. He’s fine if you had no real objecgion to the way Biden governed except for his age. If you found Biden to be disastrous on a moral and political level, and you view the current Democratic Party as unfit or unwilling to chart a better course, then Buttigieg is liostick on a pig.
