I missed this tidbit the other day. 👀 While speaking at Georgetown on October 15th, Tim Walz was asked to give advice to the national party. His answer: "Pick Pete Buttigieg." It's around 19:20 in this video: youtu.be/dJvEr36Rs7I

It was great joining my long time friend @PeteButtigieg in Georgia with a visit to Conyers to help fire up volunteers. This community is so excited to help deliver Georgia for Democrats and lift up next generation leaders like @jasmineforga and @ossoff to Congress.

People—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—clamoring to support the Peltolas and Coopers is actually a validation of their candidate quality! It’s good to have candidates people want to associate with and that should be a factor when assessing candidate quality!
Ridiculous. For all the folks still pretending El-Sayed’s race is the same as Cooper’s or Peltola’s, do they have former Dem rivals refusing to fully endorse them on national TV? ‘Blue no matter who’ was a hypocritical centrist lie and this hypocrisy may hurt Dems in 2028.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Hayley Stevens endorsed Abdul El-Sayed following the primary win by Abdul. She stated on August 2026, “I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election." bbc.com/news/articles/…

Exactly. We are NOT gonna make an overpriced restaurant another dumb ass cultural war when diesel is over 6.50 a gallon, gas is over 4.00 beef is 8.00 a gallon and the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies. Defending the Cheesecake Factory is not economic populism.
This is actually a condescending view of working-class people. I grew up in a working-class immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster and The Cheesecake Factory for "fancy nights out." But even we understood that the White House should not look like the inside of a Red Lobster. Working-class people are not culturally illiterate just because their experiences are shaped by their limited means.

Pete Buttigieg endorses Independent candidate Seth Bodnar 👏👏👏 ⬇️ "Montanans have always voted for the person more than the party. This year, that person is Seth Bodnar."
Replying to @PeteButtigieg
@PeteButtigieg and I don’t agree on everything. But we agree that Washington, D.C. is broken, and it’s time we take our country back from politicians and party bosses who enable the corruption driving up costs for all of us. Pete is joining a movement of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who are ready for a senator that answers only to Montanans.

New: Low-info voters, who put Trump in the White House, now look even more anti-Trump than high-info voters, and give Dems bigger margins on the generic ballot. 1 out of 3 Trump voters who can't name the party in charge of Congress now back Dems for 2026 gelliottmorris.com/p/poll-lo…

Pete Buttigieg on Colbert: "Many congressional Republicans take stances that seem to be more about the problem than about the solution ... can anybody name the top 5 things they've suggested to fight inflation? Can anyone name 3? How about 1?"

Why do Dems feel good about the first few days of early voting in Texas? Because voters of color are coming out at high rates, in many cases exceeding presidential year turnout, while white voters, especially white Republicans are falling short of '22 turnout among key groups.
