Pete Buttigieg came out during an election year. Then he won more votes than he had the first time. He tells Native Land Pod what that risk taught him about trust, service, and how minds can change. #NativeLandPod

We have to prepare for the day when Donald Trump will permanently leave the White House. And, even more importantly, the day after that.

That's right - you're the good Secretary Pete and Hegseth is the bad Secretary Pete. He's the sociopathic drunk who should not be commanding anything. He's a serial harasser too. You're a servant leader and loving husband and father who has saved women from assault.

Are you afraid of encountering opposing viewpoints on social media? That’s why you turn off replies? That means you aren’t secure enough in your position to defend it & demand obedience to your way of thinking by threatening to w/hold your support unless *liberals* bend the knee. That’s childish.

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

Secretary Pete Buttigieg: Fatherhood, Politics and 2028 | At Our Table
Pete Buttigieg talks with us about fatherhood, public life, and what Democrats must understand about a country frustrated with the political status quo. Nearly a decade after he and Jaime Harrison competed for DNC chair, the former mayor and cabinet secretary reflects on how becoming a husband and father changed the stakes of his political work and the personal cost of staying in the fight. We discuss the 2026 midterms, voter anger, political reform, and why Democrats cannot simply offer a return to the past. Pete also reflects on South Carolina, earning trust through listening, and the questions surrounding 2028.  00:00 Jaime welcomes Pete to Season 2 02:00 From DNC rivals to friends 06:00 What Pete learned about the Democratic Party 08:00 Trump and why Democrats can’t go back 11:00 How fatherhood changed Pete 18:00 When politics targets your family 21:00 Has Pete ever wanted to leave politics? 22:00 How Pete and Chasten handle political attacks 26:00 Why Americans are angry 27:00 What Democrats misunderstand about voter anger 29:00 Economic and political reform 32:00 Pete’s vision for the 2026 midterms 35:00 State races and money in politics 36:00 Pete’s potential midterm surprises 37:00 Does Pete want to be president? 39:00 Jaime presses Pete on 2028 40:00 What Pete learned from South Carolina 44:00 Pete on earning support from Black voters 46:00 The Sit Your Ass Down Award 48:00 What Pete hopes his children remember SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOW: 🔔 Subscribe to At Our Table on YouTube: @atourtablepodcast 📩 Newsletter: https://jaimeharrison.substack.com 🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2qSQSDL... 🌐 Website: https://www.aotpodcast.com FOLLOW JAIME HARRISON: Instagram: harrisonjaime Twitter/X: harrisonjaime Threads: https://threads.net/@harrisonjaime FOLLOW AT OUR TABLE: Instagram: atourtableshow Twitter/X: atourtableshow Threads: https://threads.net/@atourtableshow TikTok: at.our.table Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/atourtable.b...

In early 2019, Pete Buttigieg had no name recognition or money. But he's such a strong political athlete that, a year later, he went on to win Iowa and nearly win New Hampshire. So never count Pete out. He's by far the most dynamic and persuasive person who might run in 2028.
