Pete Buttigieg

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.

It’s amateur hour for the politicians at the Pentagon and White House in charge of this war. This is not a video game. And there is absolutely no excuse for the Trump operation to dishonor this nation by raising campaign money off the images of our war dead.

Yesterday in Rome was special. Spending time with Secretary @PeteButtigieg and meeting so many people from across Northwest Georgia reminds me why this campaign matters. Our communities deserve leadership that shows up and works for them. Leadership Matters. #GA14

Donald Trump is generally more interested in crowd sizes than I am. Still, I couldn’t help but notice that our event yesterday for @ShawnForGeorgia was a bit larger than when Trump visited this same district a few weeks ago. There’s great energy and enthusiasm on the ground for this campaign. Shawn is demonstrating what it looks like when we show up, lead with our values, and compete for every vote. This is a very conservative area, but there is a new kind of coalition to be built, and there is no such thing as a permanently red district.

The White House does not respect the American people enough to provide a consistent reason, a clear endgame, or even a definition of success in this war. Meanwhile, Americans are paying the price.

Loved being back in Ohio to spend time with leaders who are firmly focused on building a better future.

As Secretary, I proudly worked with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, including @Marcy_Kaptur, to fund these infrastructure improvements in Toledo - projects that improve safety and create good construction jobs. But the Trump administration and Congressional GOP cancelled a key road project here and redirected those millions of dollars toward tax cuts for billionaires. We won't let them get away with putting tax cuts for the wealthy ahead of road improvements and construction jobs.

Praying for Michigan’s Jewish community and grateful for the quick work of first responders and law enforcement during today’s attack. While we wait for more information, one thing is clear: antisemitism anywhere must be confronted and stopped.

Join us live at 3 pm for a special Mayor-to-Mayor conversation with Secretary @PeteButtigieg. We're going to talk #ClevelandERA, Cleveland’s comeback, and the revitalization of the industrial Midwest! 🔗⬇️

.@PeteButtigieg knows what it means to be grounded in the community you serve. I’m glad to have him with me in this fight to make life better for working families.

Congratulations to @ShawnForGeorgia on a strong showing tonight and advancing to the runoff! Proud to be in your corner - and looking forward to campaigning with you on Saturday.

Thank you to Mayor @randallwoodfin and the people of Birmingham for welcoming me and sharing your concern and stories. Conversations like these - offline, in real life - are vital for understanding our moment and for building hope.

The truth is that our troubled times are more precedented than we might want to admit. In this moment, we should draw courage and inspiration from the civil rights heroes whose example compels us to do our part to deliver a better, more just future.

What an honor to walk on this hallowed ground in Selma with some of the civil rights foot soldiers who marched here 61 years ago on #BloodySunday. We have so much to learn from the the moral power, and the physical courage, of the marchers who faced down Jim Crow on that day. Their example compels us to do everything it takes in our time to move America toward its deepest values and its great promise, still too often unfulfilled, of liberty and justice for all.

Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war. It could not be more wrong in terms of the priorities and the interests that this president has at heart. But it’s because he knows that this isn’t going to impact him or his buddies.

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war. It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.
