Buttigieg Again Says Not Running For Open Michigan Senate Seat

The Transportation secretary moved his family to Michigan during the pandemic. Then when Michigan Democrat Sen. Debbie Stabenow recently said she wouldn't seek 2024 reelection, speculation mounted about there being a grand plan for Buttigieg to run for the seat.

  • “I’m planning to vote in that election as a resident of Michigan,” Buttigieg said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “The job that I have is, first of all, I think the best job in the federal government. It can be really tough and demanding, with all of the problems that the transportation system has confronted, but also incredibly rewarding.”
  • Stabenow announced last month that she will not be running for reelection in 2024, which reportedly left Democrats scrambling to decide who to put put up for the seat.
  • Democrats just this weekend moved to make Michigan an early-voting state, as sign of how competitive the race against Republicans will be for the open Senate seat.
