Buttigieg: Debate wasn’t what ‘I would have loved for us’

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Friday lamented President Biden's debate performance but defended his continued candidacy in the 2024 race.

“It wasn’t the debate I would have loved for us to have,” Buttigieg said on MSNBC. “I know what it's like, to have a night on the campaign trail or a day or a moment or an event or an interview that you go back and say, 'I would have done this different or done that different.'”

Buttigieg debated against Biden when he ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
