out oh I thought we were done with mayor
0:35
Pete the transportation secretary that
0:38
couldn't do anything with Transportation
0:41
I thought we were done with him but in
0:43
the
0:44
ever popular you don't actually have to
0:47
know anything about your job to get a
0:49
job in Washington DC echos verse Here
0:52
Comes Pete budajudge again applying for
0:54
another job he has no business having or
0:58
at least that's what it appears
1:01
see he met with Schumer yesterday the
1:03
Democrat leader in the Senate and
1:06
apparently he's the odds on favorite to
1:10
run for senator from Michigan now wait a
1:13
second mayor Pete wasn't he a mayor in
1:18
Indiana and now he's going to run for
1:20
Senate in
1:22
Michigan how does that work out well
1:25
because mayor Pete's a carpet beggar
1:27
he's going to go wherever he has to go
1:30
to get what he wants and I think
1:32
listen this guy is
1:35
charismatic he did really really well in
1:39
the in the primaries for the Democrat
1:42
Party shockingly shockingly right when
1:46
he ran for president in in in the 2020
1:49
election so you know he won the Iowa
1:52
caucuses so this is a guy that I think
1:55
if they put him up for Senate in a
1:57
must-win senate seat I think he's their
2:00
best chance now will they do it I don't
2:03
know they're weighing their options but
2:06
he didn't go meet Schumer for no reason
2:08
I guarantee you that I want you guys to
2:10
watch this report on it and let me know
2:11
what you think in the comments there
2:14
been a lot of speculation about what PE
2:16
budha judge's Next Step might be uh what
2:18
more do we know about this
2:20
meeting yeah that's right Chris we know
2:22
this meeting took place last week
2:24
between Pete budajudge and uh Chuck
2:26
Schumer that is according to a source
2:28
with direct knowledge of it uh Pete
2:30
Buddha judge uh has has you know not
2:32
officially made up his mind as to
2:34
whether he's going to run for the seat
2:35
uh that's according to the same source
2:37
that we spoke to although he's clearly
2:39
considering a run this is a a seat being
2:41
vacated by the two-term Democrat Gary
2:43
Peters the parties involved here are not
2:45
feeling very chatty Buddha jud's team
2:47
isn't commenting the Democrats campaign
2:48
arm isn't commenting Schumer's team also
2:52
isn't commenting however Democratic
2:54
sources not authorized to discuss this
2:56
have told me that the party is still
2:58
assessing the field and the the
2:59
potential candidates and they have not
3:01
formulated a preference at this point as
3:03
to who they want as their nominee one
3:05
group that is commenting is the Senate
3:07
leadership fund the main Republican
3:09
Super PAC which uh referred to budajudge
3:11
as an Indiana resident in their brief
3:13
statement Budaj of course served as
3:15
mayor of Southbend Indiana he ran for
3:17
president in uh 2020 he exceeded
3:20
expectations by uh in fact winning the
3:22
Iowa caucuses he relocated from Indiana
3:25
to Michigan in 2022 citing his family
3:27
ties there namely his husband uh chast's
3:30
parents and the arrival of their
3:32
children what is very clear Chris is
3:34
that this will be one of the most hotly
3:35
contested Senate seats in the midterm
3:37
election of 2026 really a must-win for
3:40
Democrats if they want any chance of
3:42
winning back the majority in what is
3:44
expected to be another difficult map for
3:46
them zel kapor thank you
