It has a carefully new beard. He has been auctioned with Bruce for hours on a non -signed comedy podcast. On Tuesday, the Trump administration was criticized by an appeal to patriotism in a country early in the presidential nomination calendar.
The Buttigieg House returns to the Democratic spotlight this spring with a series of manifestations that prompted speculation about how one of the most ambitious politicians in the party eliminated to 2028.
With the Democrats still looking for a standard and standing stand after November loss to President Trump, Ansar Al -Sayyid Boujjj, a Soft A former mayor of Indiana, who served as Minister of Transport in the Biden Administration, I hope he will take this scarf.
Without knocking on the name of Mr. Trump, Mr. Buttigieg, in front of a crowd of old warriors with more than 1,600 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, attacked the president’s efforts to cut off the Old Warriors Affairs and its broader treatment of the country. The attendees have called for “peaceful but vital” pressure on their representatives to prevent discounts to federal agencies and the tax exemptions of the wealthy. He expressed their optimism that people will resist Mr. Trump and restore faith in democracy.
“There is a procession of horror emanating from this White House,” said 43 -year -old.
The Buttigieg City Hall in Iowa, which is sponsored by Pottovets, a group of progressive old warriors, was his most prominent participation in the democratic shadow race, where prominent conservatives and members of Congress compete for attention when weighing 2028.
They were busy: the governor of the state, Tim and Alzal from Minnesota, the party’s vice president of 2024, The city hall was held In Iowa in March and Plans to attend the State Party agreements This month in California and South Carolina, which is expected to host the early preliminary elections.

Votevets is an ally of Mr. Buttigieg, a former marine intelligence officer deployed in Afghanistan, but the group is also close to other potential competitors who have military experience, including Mr. Walz and Mr. Gallego.
For his part, Mr. Buttigieg has shown a special interest in how Democrats strengthened the intertwined mix of voters from the working class, men and Americans who were attracted to Mr. Trump’s vision to increase the institution last November.
In the city hall in Iowa, he did not make any hints about his final political aspirations, although he remembered those present in his success in Hook.
During one previous trip, “I was somewhat winning the Iowa gathering,” he said with a show, scratching his head as if he was hesitant in the thief. “Run again!” A person shouted from the crowd. Mr. Buttigieg just laughing.
Whether Buttigieg can successfully reach beyond voters who are very involved in MSNBC and read traditional news-people who will attend a political event in the middle of the week in the non-election year-they can determine whether it stands out in what is expected to be a crowded basic field.
Mr. Buttigieg was explicit about his goal of reaching non -political voters who said they felt that the Democratic Party has become very focused on elites. He presented questions from the attendees on Tuesday about how the party can restore the confidence of the voters, suggested that “some difficult conversations” are needed.
Mr. Buttigieg said that the Democrats should put more active policy plans, rather than just introducing themselves to the opposition of Mr. Trump. He said that the party needed to “communicate everything we believe, and everything we say, everything we do, for daily life.”
Mr. Buttigieg also admitted that his party did bad work last year by insisting that the economy was good through traditional standards even when voters were constantly expressing financial frustration, and comparing him to reduce angry husband. “How does that go?” He asked.
Speaking to the correspondents after the event, Mr. Buttigieg was less specific whether the Democrats had sinned in supporting President Joseph R. Biden Junior in an attempt to re -election he eventually abandoned fears of his life.
When asked if Mr. Biden had seen the experience of cognitive retreat last year – which was prompted by Mr. Biden in recent interviews – Mr. Buttigieg did not respond directly. He said that when he and Mr. Biden dealt with the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore last spring, “the same president that the world saw his treatment was the president in which I was in the oval.”
Was the party better if Mr. Biden did not run for his re -election?
Perhaps, Mr. Buttigieg allowed. “At the present time, taking advantage of the late perception, I think most people agree that this is the case.”
Zach Walls, a Senate member of Iowa in the state of Iowa who is considering the tour of the US Senate, said that Mr. Putri was “trying to meet the voters in their place of being, and I think this is one of the most important things for the Democratic Party to move forward.”
Al -Walz added: “His ability to communicate in an authentic and in -depth way is what really reaches people who may not be politicians other than that or who feel frustrated by both sides.”
This was the feelings of the attendees on Tuesday, who said they appreciated the direct method of Mr. Buttigieg to speak.
“He does not talk about this political discourse,” said Chris Balbell, 55, from Cedar Rapids. “He realizes that everyone does not agree on his point of view, but he will give people an idea of the place where he stands. He will not sit on the fence.”
The Republican Party in Iowa had a different point of view from the event of Mr. Buttigieg. In a statement, she said that Mr. Trump was working to improve access to health care of old warriors while reducing wasteful spending in the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs, and he made a contradictory decision on Democrats from the veterans of the local warriors themselves.
“Mayor Potter and Democrats want to rewrite history, but the veterans in Iowa know the truth: President Trump put them first,” Wayne Kerner, an old air force warrior in the Cedar Rapids region. “Joe Biden and Democrats put politics first.”
Mr. Buttigieg first stormed the national scene in the 2020 democratic preliminary elections as the unknown mayor in South Bend, Indiana, with a population of 100,000. He soon gained praise for sharp debate and convincing communication skills, but he finally faded with Mr. Biden’s unification of his support.
Recently, Mr. Buttigieg has been more clear, Address university students At the University of California, Santa Barbara; Laughs with Stephen Colbert In its width late at night; And the appearance of the “stark” comedy podcast, which describes the depiction of itself as “taking the unbridled hot” and opposing the political righteousness.
Mr. Buttigieg, who now lives in Michigan with his wife and two children, was considered a competitor to the open Senate and the ruler of racing there, but He bent from both competitions in MarchIt feeds more speculation about the presidential tour.
Mr. Wahls, the friend of Mr. Buttigieg who joined the city hall, said before the event that he was keen to see the beard of Mr. Buttigieg new personally. “The beard looks good!” Written in text.
But did I think it could be a kind of accurate political account, which was planning to attract better to my elections for every man? “I do not know,” the master and Al -Azz answered. “Every man’s relationship with his face is a little different; I will not speculate.”
