"He should not have run, Buttigieg said. And if he had made that decision sooner, we might have been better off. But it literally was his decision. Nobody else was able to make that decision. And now in front of us, we're confronted with the decisions that come next, whether that's inside of a political party or movement or as we're all weighing right now, in our own lives, as Americans, as a country. And that's where we've got to focus."
"Welker confronted Buttigieg about whether he shared his feelings with Biden. Did you ever speak out and urge him not to run? Welker asked. And was it recklessness on behalf of the people who didn't do so? I was not included in the process of deciding whether the president should run again, Buttigieg replied. He made that decision and I think I'm not alone in believing that he should have made the decision not to run sooner."

Attention must now turn to the decisions ahead for the party, the political movement, and the country.
