MSNBC: Pete Buttigieg Considering a Run for the U.S. Senate

EXCERPT:

KAPUR: “However, Democratic sources not authorized to discuss this have told me that the party is still assessing the field and the potential candidates, and they have not formulated a preference at this point as to who they want as their nominee. One group that is commenting is the Senate Leadership Fund, the main Republican super PAC, which referred to Buttigieg as an Indiana resident in their brief statement. Buttigieg, of course, served as mayor of South Bend, Indiana. He ran for president in 2020. He exceeded expectations by, in fact, winning the Iowa caucuses. He relocated from Indiana to Michigan in 2022, citing his family ties there, namely his husband Chasten’s parents and the arrival of their children. What is very clear, Chris, is that this will be one of the most hotly contested Senate seats in the midterm election of 2026. Really a must win for Democrats if they want any chance of winning back the majority and what is expected to be another difficult map for them.”
