Somehow, he continues to consider himself presidential material. Similar to CNN’s Jake Tapper, who is capitalizing on his attempts to conceal Joe Biden’s mental decline by releasing a misleading book where he feigns surprise at the situation, Buttigieg is now unexpectedly changing his stance as well.
Biden’s decision to stay in the presidential race well past his sell-by date may have been a “mistake,” Mayor Pete now admits:
Pete Buttigieg stated that President Joe Biden’s choice to run for a second term “maybe” harmed Democrats and that “with the benefit of hindsight, I think most people would agree that that’s the case.”
However, Biden’s former transportation secretary also aimed to move forward on Tuesday night as he eyes another presidential run in 2028, stating his party is “not in a position to wallow in hindsight” and leveraging a crowded town hall here to caution against relying on backlash against President Donald Trump in forthcoming elections.
Yes, but did you say anything at the time, Buttigieg? Did you come out strong and say, “Our president is compromised and it’s my constitutional duty to speak out on it?” No, like Jake Tapper, you kept silent and/or actively tried to keep the situation under wraps.
