Pete Buttigieg

When he launched this war, the President vowed regime change and “unconditional surrender.” What has he gotten? We went from Ayatollah Khamenei to Ayatollah Khamenei Jr. - and are now negotiating over a 10-point plan written by the Iranians. This war has made America weaker - and less trusted on the world stage.

Congratulations to the astronauts and to all involved in the Artemis II mission. Amazing and inspiring to see their historic journey and safe return to Earth.

Let’s be serious: the people in charge of this administration are not interested in merit. They've overruled the merit process to block the promotion of Black military officers - and lavish favors on people who can pay dues at Trump's private clubs or write big checks to his ballroom project.

Rev. Al Sharpton founded the National Action Network in 1991. More than three decades later, the fight for dignity, opportunity, and justice has taken new forms, and the work is more important than ever. Thank you, @TheRevAl, for convening us and for hosting today’s fireside chat at #NANCONV2026.

The president’s number one promise was to drive inflation down. Instead, he drove it up.

Watch my full interview on @SquawkCNBC from this morning:

Inflation has tripled from just one month ago, and it’s higher than when he took office. Not only has Trump failed to deliver on his central campaign promise to make life more affordable - he is actively, directly driving prices up.

Wherever I travel across the country, I find myself in conversation with people who show up with meaningful and practical things to say about their lives, their neighbors, and where we’re headed as a country. Looking forward to being back in Tulsa on April 18th for our next town hall. If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll join us. fox23.com/news/pete-butt…

.@ShawnForGeorgia ran an outstanding, disciplined, and impressive race. While coming up short of victory in Georgia's highly conservative 14th District, his campaign generated more votes and more excitement than anyone would have thought possible there until recently. Across the country, in very different corners of America, I see forms of this same energy mounting. If we keep working hard, unbelievable results will be possible in November.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Happy Easter! As Christians worldwide celebrate the Resurrection today, may all feel renewed in a sense of joy and hope.

Trump’s new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad — about $3,700 more for every household in America — while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education. Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.

Drain the swamp.

Chag Sameach to all those observing Passover. Wishing joy and community to everyone celebrating the holiday and gathering over tonight's seder.

While the President sends more American troops to the Middle East, the price of everything - groceries, gas, mortgages - keeps rising. Let’s be clear: we are worse off today, and no safer, than before this unnecessary war began.

As we head into the fourth week of the Iran war, the American people - and our troops - deserve clear, accountable, and honest leadership. We're getting the opposite.

Great to be in Midland yesterday supporting @ChedrickGreene’s campaign. Michiganders in this district aren't waiting until November to make their voices heard - and every American can take action right now to send a clear message about making everyday life safer, better, and more affordable. mlive.com/news/saginaw-b…

Buttigieg: Usually you're trying to fight those kinds of price effects that consumers are facing, not doing what the Trump administration is doing, which is actively causing them.  Vladimir Putin launched a war. The result was that there were supply shocks and oil went up, and then we all did everything that we could in the administration, and all of us as Americans, did what we could to deal with that.  Here you have a very different situation. The president launched a war of choice, and now we're all dealing with the consequences and the people who are paying the heaviest price, of course, are the service members, many of whom have given their lives, over 200 have reportedly been injured.  But also every American is paying the price. Mortgage rates are going up because of this war. Grocery prices are going to go up because of this war. And of course, the price of gas is already way up because of Donald Trump's war.

I'll keep traveling the country this year to make myself useful, wherever I can, to help build a winning coalition for the coming midterm elections.
