honest question..........apart from the buying borderline states.......he is my pick, even as a non american, BUT people will struggle enough.......well lets be honest....men, will struggle enough with a woman on the ticket, will they cope with a gay male, married and with kids.
????????
It should make a difference but would it.
Same reason there would not be a remale VP pick.........no matter how much we talk around it, and for me it's fine...................but for them, and ya know who they are................two awesome women on the ticket may be pushing it.............as much as I like pushing boundaries.........pushing tRump out is the priority and that may be a very tactical action.
They'll be out for blood, but his time hasn't come. Besides, the gay community is huge, and if they take off after him for that, it'll turn off those voters. Well, if we still have a system where we can vote. Harris 2024/2028!!!!!!
The Dems' surrogate game has been fire this year, and it will only ramp up as we move into the fall. Gonna make the portals scene in Avengers Endgame look like small potatoes.
But you're right. Pete is head and shoulders above the rest.
Nope for another reason: VP isn't a stand-up frontline job, and Buttigieg is very good at being a stand-up frontline guy. I can definitely see him in Congress.
he would be awesome I agree....but to risky unfortunately. For the american public............a woman and a gay man. Too much, too soon. Lets get the 'woman' thing done and Kamala elected.
Governor Tim Walz also had a good time embarrassing the blond FOX lady. I am beginning to think that democrats have finally learned to take the fight to the ignorant right.
Pete is one of the smartest politicians to come along in a while. He knows his stuff, thinks fast on his feet, and doesn't get drawn into Fox's spin. Not since Bill Clinton back in the day, have we seen a better political communicator.
Maannn, do I loves me some Pete Buttigieg! I fell hard for him when I read about him and his husband trying to and eventually adopting their baby. I really wish Kamala would choose him for her running mate, but I don’t think America shares my feelings… not just yet, anyways.
He’s easy to watch, exciting to listen to and perhaps even see him elected to higher office, like beside Vice President Kamala Harris! We’ll soon see! Another truth-teller is a blessing! 💜
Pete really is easy to listen to, as you said, E.Carol. When I first became aware of him, he was receiving the usual attacks familiar to gay men. Then it began to come out about his personal accomplishments, the excellent job he’d done as Mayor, his military service, his excellent character, and I said to myself, this guy is more of a real man than any of his detractors. Bar none.
THIS! Mayor Pete's the guy, and his media appearances make for a powerful addition to the Harris team...articulate, cool under fire, and a "family guy"!
If he's auditioning, he's just sticking it, as they say in gymnastics.
Agreed, caught a few of that interview on substack earlier, she kept trying to talk over him which is rude, but he kept talking and calmly told what needed to be said, we need him on all networks. Here’s something of interest of why Vance “Usha Vance told friends Trump appalled her. Now she’s working to elect him.” By WP
Thank you. I want Pete Buttigieg in a position where people hear from him frequently.
Absolutely agree Maryhelen!
His time will come. I foresee a day when Pete & Chasten Buttigieg, along with their twins Penelope & Gus, will be the First Family of the USA.
Completely agree

I just saw him. No one puts them in their place like secretary Pete!❤️
He nailed it again!
He’s the best communicator the democrats have.
The Dems' surrogate game has been fire this year, and it will only ramp up as we move into the fall. Gonna make the portals scene in Avengers Endgame look like small potatoes.
But you're right. Pete is head and shoulders above the rest.
It is so refreshing to see Sec. Pete telling people on lying Faux News that they are enablers for the biggest pathological liar in history!!!
And he does it so effortlessly and genuinely. Can't be taught
When one is not afraid of anyone or anything, one can always speak the truth with conviction. That is what Pete did, and that's who he is.
I see Pete as a viable Presidential Candidate down the line.
He could be the vp now
Nope.
Not because he isn't qualified or a great campaigner but because what added constituency does he bring?
If you want Pete for VP, you're already voting for Kamala.
But Pete's made a real difference at Transportation. If he doesn't want to run for governor of Indiana, he should be given another cabinet position.
He’d make a great Secretary of State!
Good call!
I just love the guy, whatever he chooses to do.
He moved to Michigan several years back. If nothing bigger, I can see him running for Senate there.
I did not know that.
He could win in Michigan.
He's a Michigander these days. 🙂

He really is something special.
Absolutely without a doubt always has been
Pete is the best weapon the Harris campaign can have for direct engagement . Let’s hope she uses him well.
Def a great start right Al?
Yes indeed!
Go, Pete!
And thank you, Scott, for highlighting the positive!
Thanks for reading Kate!
Keep up the great work! We need you.
Thank you Kate! I will!

Many of us do. He is amazing
I agree with you, but I don’t know if some Americans are ready for change! Too much at one time may give some a heart attack!
lol exactly! Don’t wanna drown em all with our “wokeness”
He’s easy to watch, exciting to listen to and perhaps even see him elected to higher office, like beside Vice President Kamala Harris! We’ll soon see! Another truth-teller is a blessing! 💜
So genuine too!

He has a very commanding presence. I’m sure he will have a cabinet post in the Harris administration.
He could easily step into the presidency.
Absolutely
Pete is destined for higher things.
I agree Walter

Definitely stickin it. And whether he’s auditioning or not he’s got the chops we need to take the message to the people.
Good for Pete . Fux new deserves more of that . Thanks Scott
Pete is the BEST
He knows how to dunk on MAGA effortlessly
