Apparently, the twins aren't enough to keep Pete busy and he is looking at running for the Senate seat being vacated by Gary Peters.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is "taking a serious look" at running for the Michigan senate seat left open by the surprise retirement of Sen. Gary Peters, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Buttigieg would bring his national fundraising network to what is expected to be one of the most expensive Senate races in the country.

  • "Pete is exploring all of his options on how he can be helpful and continue to serve," said a person close to Buttigieg. 
  • "He's honored to be mentioned for this and he's taking a serious look."

What he's saying: "Senator Gary Peters has served with great integrity, focus, and expertise. It was a pleasure working with him as Secretary to deliver good policies for our country and key transportation projects in Michigan," Buttieg posted today on X.

Pete didn't seem he could be bothered to work very much when he was the Secretary of Transportation, but maybe he is ready to actually show up.

Oof! That is going to leave a mark.

We'll pass!

He's such a fake.

It's fair to call him that. If the shoe fits.

Hopefully, he runs. Cross your fingers and toes.

Particularly if you are a Democrat.

He's taken a lesson from Joe Biden and staying on the taxpayer's dole forever.
