Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said he sees now how “demanding” the job of the President of the United States is and dismissed a future run.
Buttigieg ran against President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination in 2020. Previously, he had only held the position of Mayor of South Bend, Indiana. As a secretary on Biden’s Cabinet, he claimed he has gained a “new perspective” during an interview on Face the Nation on Sunday.
“Well, I certainly have a new perspective on just how demanding that job is, watching President Biden deal with so many concerns, challenges, and opportunities for this country. I am proud to be a small part of the big team that helps him get that done,” Buttigieg said. “I sincerely don’t know whether I will run for elected office of any kind again.”
