Pete Buttigieg Thinks ‘We’re Still Underreacting to Project 2025’
At a DNC delegation breakfast Thursday morning, Buttigieg also quipped that "the biggest scandal" afflicting Republicans in 2024 isn't a criminal conspiracy or a sex scandal—although they've got those too—but "their own policies."

CHICAGO —At a Thursday morning delegate breakfast to kick off the final day of the Democratic National Convention, Transportation Secretary and Democratic Party wunderkind Pete Buttigieg dedicated a chunk of his remarks to hitting Republicans on Project 2025—the extremist agenda right-wingers have drafted to ruin all our lives if Donald Trump is reelected. “I actually think we’re still underreacting to Project 2025,” Buttigieg said inside a meeting room at the Sheraton Grand Hotel.
“This is an extraordinary thing, that the biggest scandal to hit the Republican Party in the 2024 election, the one that’s the most damaging, the one they’re actually most afraid of, the one that’s gotten them doing damage control, isn’t a criminal cover-up—although they got one of those too. It isn’t a sex scandal, although…” he trailed off, alluding to the former president’s felony trial earlier this year for alleged, criminal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016. “It’s that they wrote down their own policies, and everybody saw what they’re planning to do in this country, and it’s wildly unpopular.”
