Buttigieg gives a strident anti-Trump message in Iowa, demands Democrats make their agenda clear

- Buttigieg, a 43-year-old former Navy Reserve intelligence officer who served in Afghanistan, is a former South Bend mayor and transportation secretary.
- He told Jen Psaki on MSNBC that opposition to the Republican president must present a more defined vision of their values, one that is as explicit as their pushback against the administration’s authoritarian actions.
- Buttigieg's aides say his Iowa trip aims to meet people and hear concerns rather than launching a 2024 presidential bid amid broader Democratic mobilization.
