This is such a bizarre move for him. Meatball is young! He has his whole career ahead of him, and he's risking it all on being able to beat :trump-moist: in the primary.
The only way this makes any sense is if the heart attack gun is real
His window of opportunity does seem small for someone so un-charismatic and unable to take a hit. He'll be out of office 2 years before he can run again, which is an eternity in US politics. No US Senate election for FL in 2026 when his governorship ends either.
Though the fact he is running this time makes me doubt it's the right call, somehow. It just seems doomed either way.

"When your enemy is making a mistake, do not correct them."
He had a meteoric rise and he likely suffers from the Buttigieg brain worms besides.
So he's going to shoot for the moon because that's just what you do when you're on your way up.
