Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has endorsed independent Senate candidate Seth Bodnar in Montana, bypassing the state’s Democratic nominee less than two weeks before the November election.

Buttigieg, who is rumored to be weighing a possible 2028 presidential campaign, praised Bodnar’s military and public service record in an endorsement reported by ABC News, saying he would bring a bipartisan approach to the Senate.
