Watch: Buttigieg doesn't give straight answer about whether he wants to remain transportation secretary for another term

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg fielded a straightforward question last week about whether he would like to serve in the post again if President Joe Biden is re-elected — but while the question was certainly simple, Buttigieg did not provide a straight answer.

Rather than providing a clear-cut "yes" or "no" response, Buttigieg said he has his "head down" aiming to "deliver" as it pertains to "historic opportunities."

He went on to describe it as "demanding" but also "rewarding work," which he is "very glad" he is doing.

Regarding the future Buttigieg said, "We'll find out what's ... next," adding that currently, there is much of which to be proud and much more to get done.

Biden announced last week that he will seek re-election during the 2024 presidential contest.

"Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours. That's why I'm running for reelection as President of the United States. Join us. Let's finish the job," Biden declared in a tweet.

Former President Donald Trump is also running again — both he and Biden will face challengers in their respective parties' primaries, but if Trump manages to win the GOP presidential nomination and Biden manages to secure the Democratic presidential nomination, Americans could face a rematch of the 2020 contest.

Buttigieg mounted a presidential bid back in 2019 but ultimately dropped out and endorsed Biden the next year.
