The Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center earlier this month, asked likely Democratic primary voters about a list of potential candidates, including Buttigieg, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), California Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker. 19% of respondents said that they would support Buttigieg in the 2028 primary. Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez came in second and third place with 15% and 14%, respectively.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will be joining Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger for a rally on October 21 to help her bid to become the governor of Virginia. Spanberger is running against Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R), who recently declared that firing workers for being gay is "not discrimination," possibly because of her belief that being gay is an " immoral lifestyle choice."

I see this issue being used to divide. I see it being used to hurt people. It's especially hurtful for trans people and people with transgender members of their family who witness themselves or people they love being used as a political football.

Buttigieg received the most support out of any potential candidate and garnered 16 per cent of the vote, even beating out Harris, who secured 13 per cent.

"This term, okay. So this is when straight guys pretend to be gay with each other. Straight white guys. Straight white guys Black guys are just getting on it and they're like, they're doing really good."

"Isn't Pete the worst virtue-signaling winger fagger?" Her slip quickly circulated online as accusations of a veiled slur against Buttigieg's sexuality emerged.
