Pete Buttigieg speaks out on baby formula: He's 'set for now' but worries for others

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is one of the many parents impacted by the baby formula shortage nationwide.

Buttigieg and husband Chasten welcomed now 9-month-old twins through adoption last summer. On CBS's "Face the Nation," Buttigieg said that he's been "rooting around stores" and "online" speaking with family members in other places where there's more formula available.

"This is very personal for us," he said, adding "baby formula is a very big part of our lives."

They've figured out the issue and are "set for now," but the Democrat said Sunday he worries about other parents who don't have the same access.

" I think about what that would be like if you're a shift worker with two jobs," he said. "You literally don't have the time or the money to be going from store to store."
