Anderson Cooper asks Secretary Pete Buttigieg about his future political aspirations

After running for president in 2020, Anderson Cooper asked Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg about his future political plans.

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

I am waiting to vote for this guy as my president.

[davidvanluke]

Like Anderson Cooper, I don't believe you. And I hope that I am right. Please, we need someone with military experience and someone who understands how our society is really doing. No more old people and their inability to name the price of a bottle of Coca-Cola because they have money and the majority does not!

Based on his interviews and his education and positions, he was my second choice after Warren for Democratic nominee. In many ways, I'd like to see Biden pass the torch after 4 years to this brilliant member of my generation. I think he would be a better president than Harris.

Pete has to run for President in 2024. Biden would simply be too old. He's too old now for that matter. Vice President Harris is not qualified and she is very unpopular. Pete is the smartest candidate we've had since I don't know when. He will have to run for the good of the country.

Too intelligent and thoughtful for the average American voter.

Love this guy, so smart. Such a dedicated public servant. really cares, and sharp as a tack. Sure, he suffers from the same technocratic inclinations that all young politicians do, but he comes off as a genuinely good executive administrator with both strong enterprise and leadership skills. Hope that he gets the opportunity to see as much of these projects through before and he gets tapped for more responsibility in the future.

too many maga and putin trolls in the comment section 😂😂

[orawancarlile]

Two smart persons I do admire as a mother I am so proud both of them contributed to a better society. I will vote for Pete if he is running for a higher office in the future.

Mayor Pete, if you choose to run for President? ……God forbid…..we want you. You have character, intelligence, your charismatic and think on your feet.

[presleymckinley]

Dude... can we get someone who isn’t scripted? All of em think they got a million dollar smile .

[maryclare]

I live for the day when they talk about what’s going on now instead the next election years away

[liafiol-matta]

I can't wait for Pete to be President!!

[cutlsenc]

What? A man with Dignity, can speak whole sentences, not using the mic to gaslight Americans?!? Where did he come from?!? Must be from another country!

[sherribrody]

Pete had me at hello. I wanted him to win the primary and I want him to be president some day. Our country, buffered from the kind of geography a place like Ukraine has, does not produce the types of heroes like Zelensky. But to me, Pete is a close second. The fact that in spite of his Oxford education and being a Rhodes Scholar he opted to serve in Afghanistan and then to return home and serve in his hometown of South Bend speaks to his huge character. He represents our country well, and we are completely remiss in not wanting a leader like this.

[MICHGO]

DON'T WORRY WHEN THE TIME COMES HE WILL BE PRESIDENT.

[romanstaxicompany]

This man will be president whether it’s in two years or thirty years he’s got my vote.

[macrichardson]

I will hold out for Pete as long as it takes !! That is one Great True American !

[jessamynrising]

The combined IQ and professionality of these two.

[JORDANLEWISFILM]

Reading the comments I see that Americans are still pretty easy to deceive

[davidbaise]

I have heard this new word “de-conflicting” now in various discourses. It’s awkward and seems to be here to stay.
