Buttigieg testified before a Senate committee on his department's budget. And as he's done since the derailment controversy went national, he pointed to regulations as a solution.
They were notably joined by progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar , who called for"direct action" from him to address the tragedy. "We’re constrained by law on some areas of rail regulation ," the transportation secretary tweeted."But we are using the powers we do have to keep people safe." Buttigieg enjoys an unusually high profile for a transportation secretary owing to his background. After being elected mayor of South Bend, Indiana, he launched a presidential campaign and won the Iowa caucus before dropping out to endorse eventual President Joe Biden. After winning the presidency, Biden named Buttigieg transportation secretary, and he's often mentioned on a short list of names as a future Democratic presidential nominee.
