Pete Buttigieg engagement report
@PeteButtigieg - 3.8M followers on X
Measured over 29 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.9K interactions against 3.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.104%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 128K times each, and 3.04% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.41% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 72% carry an image or video, 7% are part of a thread and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 97K interactions, about 25x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Pete Buttigieg's engagement rate beats 85% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 86% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 18:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

President Trump tried to kill the single biggest transportation project in America — the Hudson Tunnel project — for nakedly political reasons, eliminating tens of thousands of jobs. That’s illegal, so the courts stopped him. Now he's appealing. America deserves so much better than a President putting political revenge ahead of jobs and safety.

Republicans are losing because they can't run on their record. They can't run on covering up the Epstein files. They can't run on cutting Medicaid. They can't run on stripping SNAP or imposing tariffs. Americans see what is happening - and we are hungry for change. https://t.co/KsaDbP3S2q

When Trump said “I’m not going to start a war,” many Americans believed that promise - and voted for him. When he said his Iran war would be over in a few weeks, many believed that too. Americans today are fed up with the cost of this war - and the lies. https://t.co/HUjC7XjvKF

This is a big deal: Brandon Dukes just flipped a Pennsylvania state House seat held by Republicans for almost 30 years. His victory in Butler County reflects voters' readiness for change, and the trust that he has earned in his district. I'm proud to be in his corner.

You are not alone if you believe that every American should have access to affordable health care, good roads, and great public schools. You are in fact part of a powerful American majority. https://t.co/5kx4m16Efm

Today in Chicago, @BarackObama and @MichelleObama reminded Americans how we can be our best as a country, just as they did during their eight years in the White House. It was a great honor to participate in today’s opening for the Obama Presidential Center, whose purpose of empowering people to make positive change is timely and needed.

The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power. We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all. https://t.co/QOGE2f1Okg

If there's one thing Americans can agree on, it's that there's too much money in politics. But the Supreme Court just decided to demolish some of the last safeguards we had left - creating an even bigger role for special interest spending. We must do whatever it takes - including a constitutional amendment if necessary - to combat the influence of money in our political system.

There will not be another like the Queen of Country, Dolly Parton. Her music spoke to millions across generations, including in our family. And America is a better place because the inspiring and unifying example she set with her spirit of generosity and belonging will endure far into the future, just like her timeless music.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 3.9K interactions against 3.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.104%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 85% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size.

Posts are seen about 128K times each, and 3.04% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.41% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.
