“A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for politics not to slap you in the face every day every time you turn on the news, because we can go back to a way of doing things in this country where, of course, we ‘will not always agree, but it’s not this constant, in-your-face death match that it feels like whether he’s president or whether he’s a candidate,” Buttigieg said on MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki.

Buttigieg suggested Trump has already cost the Republican Party losses in both 2020 elections, where Trump lost his re-election bid against Joe Bidenand the 2022 midterm elections, in which the Republican Party did worse.
