Out transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg is considering whether to run for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat or whether to take a second shot at running for President, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
Pete Buttigieg, formerly mayor of South Bend, Ind., said he is “taking a serious look” at Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat, which will be at the center of the battle for congressional control in the 2026 midterms, with the departure of Michigan's two-term Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.
