WASHINGTON — Pete Buttigieg won Senate approval Tuesday as transportation secretary, the first openly gay person to be confirmed to a Cabinet post. He’ll be tasked with advancing President Joe Biden’s ambitious agenda of rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure and fighting climate change.
Buttigieg, a 39-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and Biden’s one-time rival during the Democratic presidential primaries, was approved on a 86-13 vote.
“I’m honored and humbled by today’s vote in the Senate—and ready to get to work,” Buttigieg tweeted shortly after he was confirmed.
Praised by Biden as bringing a “new voice” to the administration, Buttigieg takes over a Transportation Department with 55,000 employees and a budget of tens of billions dollars. He has pledged to quickly get to work promoting safety and restoring consumer trust in America’s transportation networks as airlines, buses, city subway systems and Amtrak reel from plummeting ridership in the coronavirus pandemic.

Beep! Beep! Coming up behind!
On a side note, show me one of DJT cabinet nominees that received an 86 to 13 (for that matter, 60 to 40) or better confirmation.
Never mind that this low life POS has no qualifications or background for the job.
I don’t care that he’s gay - what I don’t like is he has zero resume for this job. NO ONE in the private sector would hire this guy for that position.
Wow. Take a look at videos of the concertina-wire fence with military check-points all around the former seat of our government. Queer wierdo from South Bend takes over the Transportation Department. This coup d’etat is sickening.
You are absolutely right. Secret security police agency pick. Named Buttygig indeed. Like Ciarmella but moreso.
“We’re going to destroy your jobs but we HOPE and plan to make new jobs. Learn to code.”
HE is an expert in dark feces filled tunnels and dirt road management after all.
Never knew that South Bend was a particular hub of transportation that would confer Booty Judge with any sort of expertise on roads, buses, planes and trains. Granted, he’s an expert on cabooses, but still...
He’s going to make a national law that all males must rear end other men at every opportunity.
He’d probably qualify as pResident if he had a sex-change operation.
I’m sure that he and Chasten will be invited to all the right parties.
Back that up, boys.
“Well I’m sure he knows his way around interstates rest stops”
He knows his way around a few dirt roads.
That’s for sure. He would have taken any position to get out of South Bend Indiana. He’s in the club now. He’ll be worth $50,000,000 in a couple years. Mrs Mitch McConnell can get him hooked up with all the right connections and his “wife” can shop all day.
Another moron.
Deep State likes them that way.
He has as much experience in transportation as Hunter did on oil and gas.
Here we go - anal swabs before you get on the plane...
Pete will abbreviate the post to Trans. Secretary.
Pete’s not a tranny.
He’s the husband and Chasten is definitely the “wife” LOL.
Forgot to mention that he wants to confiscate all firearms from us.
