Buttigieg Calls on Trump to Support Reversing Train Deregulation That 'Happened Under His Watch'

Reporter: “You mentioned a national political figure who’s decided to get involved. It sounds like you’re talking about Trump. And then you said, ‘I need your help.’ How can he help?”

Buttigieg: “Well, one thing he could do is express support for reversing the deregulation that happened on his watch. I heard him say he had nothing to do with it, even though it was in his administration. So if he had nothing to do with it and they did it in his administration against his will, maybe he could come out and say that he supports us moving in a different direction. And we’re not afraid to own our policies when it comes to raising the bar on regulation. And I’ve got to think that him indicating that this is something that everybody, no matter how much you disagree on, politics and presidential campaigns, can get behind. Higher fines, tougher regulations on safety, Congress untying our hands on braking rules, all the other things that go with it. That’ll be a nice thing for him to do.”
