Looks like aspiring New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo might have some stiff competition for his rumored bid for presidency in the future.
An exclusive Politico report – “Buttigieg gives the clearest sign yet about his next steps” – provides immense insight into exactly what the former Biden Transportation Secretary intends to do in the future.
More specifically, the future of the 2028 presidential election.
Buttigieg reportedly “will not run for Michigan’s open Senate seat … clearing a path for a potential presidential campaign instead.”
“His decision was framed by several allies and people in his inner circle as putting him in the strongest possible position to seek the presidency, and based on a belief it would be exceedingly difficult to run successive campaigns in 2026 and 2028,” Politico helpfully added.
So, in other words, the Democrats have decided to take the exact reverse approach for 2028 than they did in the 2024 election …
Instead of ramming in some DEI candidate all of three months before voters cast their ballots, they are pulling out every potential candidate over the sun and floating them in the press now, at least three years in advance.
David Axelrod, the longtime Democratic operative most well-known for crafting Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns, finds it rather telling that Buttigieg has declined to not run for the Senate.
“The hardest decision in politics is to pass on a race you have a very good chance to win,” Axelrod remarked to Politico.
Ah, yes. A very hard decision indeed, especially with the effectively unfettered, if periodic, access to private jets, as Buttigieg reportedly enjoyed while “serving” as Biden’s Transportation Secretary.
“Pete was an A-list recruit and would have been a formidable candidate for the Senate had he chosen to run,” Axelrod added.
“A-list.” What a description for a celebrity-obsessed political party. Because celebrity associates worked out sowell for Comrade Kamala in 2024.
Unless, of course, Buttigieg has a chance to aim for the Oval Office in 2028, as Axelrod acknowledges.
“But had he won in ’26, it would almost certainly have taken him out of the conversation for ’28. This certainly keeps that option open,” Axelrod mused.
Does it ever.
The question is whether or not Buttigieg will be able to face down powerful Republican candidates in the future, including Vice President JD Vance, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, or other candidates committed to reducing, not augmenting, the size of the federal government.
With any luck, the Dems will be crazy enough to run Comrade Kamala again, which will likely result in even more epic wins for Republicans in the future.
