Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says IVF "shouldn't be up to politicians in the first place"

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that it is important that President Biden communicates in the State of the Union on Thursday directly to the American people about the administration's accomplishments and future plans.

Buttigieg said this year's State of the Union, the third of Mr. Biden's presidency as he looks ahead of the likely November rematch with former President Donald Trump, gives Mr. Biden an opportunity to underscore the positive impacts of his policies.

"This is a chance for the president to talk about the strides that our economy has made under his leadership, adding more jobs than any president ever," Buttigieg told "CBS Mornings" co-host Tony Dokoupil. "It's a chance to talk about how things like the bipartisan infrastructure law that he led are now leading to improvements to roads, bridges and more in every part of this country. Issue after issue where we've got to talk about what we've done and where we're headed. I'm looking forward to the president making that case this evening."
