Buttigieg says improvements are coming to American infrastructure, from road and bridge repairs to a new network of electric car charging ports.
Thanks to the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law passed last year, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is overseeing one of the most significant investments in America's bridges, roads, and rails in more than half a century.
"When it comes to roads and bridges, we haven't invested at this level since the Eisenhower administration, since they built the interstate highway system in the first place," Buttigieg told Cooper. Buttigieg said his agency wants to create a national network of charging stations that will allow people with electric vehicles to confidently drive longer distances.
Buttigieg thinks electric cars can be a boon to both rural and urban families that currently spend a significant amount of money on gas.Secretary Buttigieg rose to national political prominence when he campaigned to become the Democratic presidential nominee in 2020. He tied for first with Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Iowa caucus and finished a close second in the New Hampshire primary. When Buttigieg dropped out of the presidential race, he endorsed Mr. Biden.
