U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg visited a Minnesota Veterans of Foreign Wars chapter in St. Paul to advocate for the Biden-Harris campaign, emphasizing their commitment to servicemembers and military veterans. Buttigieg contrasted the administration’s approach with former President Trump’s record, criticizing Trump’s past comments on military service. He highlighted the PACT Act, which expanded healthcare options for those exposed to hazards, and shared a personal story about watching Biden give a speech after the NATO summit. The visit occurred amid division within the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party over whether Biden should continue as the nominee. Biden also delivered a progressive message during a press conference, focusing on policies to support the middle and working classes and demonstrating a strong grasp of foreign policy. Buttigieg did not take questions from the media and declined to comment on Biden’s recent speech. The event took place one day before Trump was injured in an assassination attempt. Buttigieg’s speech underscored the importance of trust in the president to do the right thing for servicemembers and veterans and highlighted the Biden administration’s commitment to their care.
