When a prominent politician does a town hall in Iowa, it sort of defines the unofficial start to the upcoming presidential cycle and their campaign in earnest to win the office. That's just ... tradition.
So when former South Bend, Indiana mayor and U.S. Transportation Pete Buttigieg hosted a town hall with VoteVets Wednesday night, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a full 1,272 days before Election Day, November 7, 2028, it's as if we could say both that "he's running for President" and "the 2028 cycle has begun."
Right?
While he's taking on swipes from current Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy (Trump's lumberjack) and the current President, Pete's out there meeting people in a red state where GOP House members have been told not to.
Oh, and while Duffy's whining about what should have been fixed when Joe Biden & Pete were in charge of the FAA, he should be reminded he is among 180 Republicans who voted against additional (and obviously needed) FAA funding.
Watch the full town hall & decide for yourself: is Pete running?
