Biden’s Own Cabinet Member Wants To Run Against Him In 2024

In the same week that Joe Biden announced that he plans to run for a second tern in 2024, buzz of another Democrat contender has penetrated the White House. Spoiler alert, both Biden and his cabinet member with presidential aspirations are both disastrous options.

Pete Buttigieg has long been a man in a hurry.

Since 2010, he has run for treasurer of Indiana, mayor of South Bend, chair of the Democratic National Committee, and president of the United States. At 39, he is one of the most omnipresent and newly-powerful members of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. But he says he’s not thinking about what comes next, even as he’s buzzed about as a potential Biden heir.

“I’d say the other thing that I’m really enjoying about this job, although it’s very demanding and obviously requiring a lot, is that this is the least I have had to think about campaigns and elections in about a decade and that’s a very good thing,” he told POLITICO on Friday, amidst people in hard hats and bright yellow safety vests in a construction zone near Terminal 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

While Buttigieg says he’s not contemplating the race to be Biden’s successor, inside the West Wing, others are imagining it for him. His name is sometimes discussed by aides as a natural Democratic presidential nominee in 2028 — or 2024 if the president opts not to run.

“Nobody in the West Wing shuts that down,” said one person with direct knowledge of the conversations. “It’s very open.”

The chatter has frustrated some staffers of color who see it as disrespectful to Kamala Harris — the first Black woman vice president — and think senior officials should tamp it down. Some of Buttigieg’s former campaign staffers also question whether challenging Harris is feasible given how critical the Black vote is in any Democratic primary, and how Buttigieg struggled to attract those voters the last time around. But there is some existing infrastructure waiting in the wings.

Pete Buttigieg, with his hand on the Bible held by Chasten Buttigieg, is sworn in as Transportation Secretary by Vice President Kamala Harris in the Old Executive Office Building.

Buttplug President , already have one

Fudge Packin Pete is just looking for more fudge to pack..............

[throwthebumsout]

Yep. Always looking for the back door.

[FlyingEagle]

Buttgig is a legend in his own twisted perverted mind.

[Jim Noble]

He will do as well as Bruce Jenner did in California.

[Mr. K]

Harris is black? I thought she was Asian

[Psalm 73]

"Fudge Packin Pete is just looking for more fudge to pack..."

I think ole Pete is the packee, not the packer....

[HonkyTonkMan]

He’s done wonders with transportation and logistics.

[Reily]

She’s a Blasian !

“...Bible held by Chasten...”

An older and wiser Alanis Morrissette called. She sheepishly asked if this is an actual example of irony, and if so, whether she might be allowed to write a hit song about it.

[Pollard]

That was last week. Do try and keep up.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Why did his man, Chasten, change his last name to Buttigieg? Does that mean Pete is the man in the relationship?

but what about liberal feminist theory that people should not
change their last name at marriage?

Or are they wading through all this, in the world of homosexual marriage, to figure out the rules on this?

[SaxxonWoods]

He’s wimpy enough, he’s happy and gay enough, and by golly people like him!

[The_Media_never_lie]

He’s dead, politically, Jim.

I think what happened when the Democrats ran twenty-two candidates was because Obama demonstrated that ANYONE, possibly even a department store dummy, could be president. So, we had people who were hilariously unqualified thinking they were viable candidates. Now, Biden has proven that a department store dummy would be preferable. We’re going to have sanitation engineers running in ‘24. And, you know what? They would undoubtedly do a better job. Probably with 99% less hair sniffing.

[Bullish]

Pete Buttplug can go get screwed... Oh wait, he already does and he loves it.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I’m still trying to understand, why people such as Andrew Yang and Marianne Williamson were in Democrat debates, and treated as serious presidential candidates.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I guess I’m confused. If Joe doesn’t run for reelection, wouldn’t Kamala be the front runner/heir apparent, to be the Democrat nominee?

And if Joe doesn’t finish his term, Kamala would be the incumbent president in 2024.
