When Pete Buttigieg dropped out the Democratic primary on Sunday, he didn't immediately make any endorsement.
While being interviewed on KHOU 11 News in Houston, Texas, on Monday, Biden revealed he'd discussed giving Buttigieg a position in his administration.
"I did speak to Pete Buttigieg a couple of days ago to encouraged him to stay engaged because he has enormous talent and I indicated to him that if I became the nominee I'd be coming to ask him to be a part of an administration to be engaged in moving things forward," Biden said.
Buttigieg dropped out on Sunday. If Biden's timeline is accurate, that he offered Buttigieg a position in his administration a couple of days before his Monday interview, which would be Saturday, then Biden may have convinced Buttigieg to drop out in exchange for that position. Even if Biden offered him that position on Sunday, after Buttigieg dropped out, the offer came before Buttigieg officially endorsed Biden on Monday.
That would make the offer of a job in his administration illegal.

Nothing will happen.
“”””“Joe Biden Offered Pete Buttigieg a Job in His Administration, and May Have Broken the Law Doing So”
Impeach! “”””””””
PRE-IMPEACH !!!!!!!!!!!!!
PEACH FOTI SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quid Pro Joe.
Yup. And Epstein didn’t kill himself, if there’s any actual law enforcers reading this.
This is one of those moments when EVERY Republican should be Giving 2 minute Speeches on the Floor DEMANDING HIS ARREST AND PROSECUTION!!!
Biden has never had a problem bribing people to get what he wants. Nothing will happen until he sits down with Rachel Maddow and she actually asks him tough questions. He has never had the guts to go on her show for some unknown but suspicious reason.
With Trump, there was no quid pro quo.
IDK. Seems kind of like a dumb law. Politics is all about negotiations - it’s what they do...

Joe is Swamp Royalty.
The Bidens do as they please.
Don’t look where all that money comes from!

Wow, nice. This will make for some good “Quid Pro Quo Joe” commercials.
Maybe Biden promised him he could have his old Delaware Senate seat when he gets elected president...
AG Barr is not interested in law breakers.
I’m sure the FyouBI will be right on this with a 6am raid at Bidens and Butts homes tomorrow.
Joe lives outside the law. Like most dims.
Sounds like a stupid law. One of those laws designed to feel able to be used against anyone for normal and reasonable activity.
> Much ado about nothing. <
Agreed. There are so many federal laws that everyone probably breaks a few without knowing it every day.
As for Biden, was he coldly calculating here, or was he just running his mouth as usual? It was almost certainly the latter.
"Breaking the Law" only applies to Republicans. Nothing to see here. Move along.
