## Summary

Pete Buttigieg has announced a new book, *Next*, prompting renewed speculation that he may seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. The former transport secretary says he has spent about a year thinking about what comes next, but has not announced a campaign.

The book is due out on 26 January, around the time in 2019 that Buttigieg began exploring a presidential bid. He ran in 2020, won the most delegates in the Iowa caucuses and later endorsed Joe Biden before Super Tuesday. Polling cited in the article shows Buttigieg among the potential 2028 contenders, while Kamala Harris remains ahead in most surveys.
