Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said most Americans agree on the "big issues" like the economy, health care and education as he campaigned for New Mexico gubernatorial candidate Deb Haaland (D) in Las Cruces. "You don't have to be a card-carrying Democrat to recognize that wages are too low, costs are too high and that if this economy is going to produce a trillionaire, the trillionaire ought to be paying at least a high a tax rate as a nurse or a schoolteacher or a firefighter. That's commonsense," he said. "You see, our problem isn't to convince most people about those issues. We already agree on those issues. The challenge is, we got a system that stops an American majority from having its way." #pete #buttigieg #newmexico #haaland #campaign2026 #cspan
