Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Americans who support expanded health care access, stronger public schools and infrastructure investments represent a broad coalition rather than a political minority.
Buttigieg Says Public Services Have Broad Support On Saturday, Buttigieg posted on X while sharing a clip of his speech, writing, "You are not alone if you believe that every American should have access to affordable health care, good roads, and great public schools.
He added, "You are in fact part of a powerful American majority." In the video, Buttigieg said voters in politically competitive or Republican-leaning areas can sometimes feel that their views are unpopular.
In a clip, Buttigieg said, "When you live in one of these kind of purple or some would say reddish areas, sometimes the world has a way of making you think that you're part of some tiny minority." He argued that support for expanding health care access, investing in education and improving infrastructure extends across the country.
"Turns out that if you think health care ought to be available to every single American, you're part of a majority, not a minority, to believe that," he said.
