A number of Democratic officials have been touted as potential running mates for Vice President Kamala Harris.

But, according to recent polling, one contender is steaming ahead of the pack: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

In a July 29 YouGov poll, 59% of Democratic respondents said they would approve of Buttigieg being chosen as the vice presidential nominee. Out of nine Democratic officials included, he was the only one to garner a majority.

I think all the others were smart enough to turn it down.

So the Prez would not have had one delegate after losing all primaries and being appointed by Dem insiders to replace the one voters had selected in primaries scaled down to suit Biden. Then the next Prez if something happens to her would have the experience of running South Bend, Indiana , population 103,110 . And bungling a cabinet post.

The Hill.In March 3, 2023.
Transportation post has become political nightmare for Buttigieg

Buttigieg has been blasted for taking too long to travel to East Palestine, Ohio, the site of a train derailment that has created serious environmental and health concerns for the community.

In January, he bore the brunt of criticism over a disastrous holiday travel season for Southwest Airlines, which resulted in thousands of people being stranded. And that same month, he was criticized over problems with the FAA, which had to ground flights for two hours for the first time in more than 20 years.

“I don’t think his story was supposed to go this way,” said one Democratic strategist. “I think he took the job thinking there wouldn’t be a lot of risk surrounding the role. I don’t think he understood how political this job would be and how he’d be a punching bag.”
The USA is in trouble. Hate to tell that news.

The dems need Pennsylvania so that argues for Josh Shapiro.

But Buttigieg gets them another first.

I suspect they go with Shapiro as they need PA.

Buttman would be a wonderful choice—for our side.

Could we get that lucky?

Could be.

I think absolutely not because he’s Jewish. They’ve antagonized the pro-Hamas wing of the party enough; they’re not going to do something so provocative

None of her candidates will go over good. But please, take Tim Walz and get him out of my state. We’ll get him back anyways because he’s such a totalitarian train-wreck. JD and Trump will have a field day with that zero.

“I think absolutely not because he’s Jewish. “

Kamala Harris’s husband is Jewish.

At one time, I thought it might be uber anti 2A Mark Kelley (astronaut and all).

That said, his likeness to Dr. Evil does work against him. Optics means much with today's low info voters, and baldness turns quite a few people off,trust-wise. Ike was the last bald prez.

Pete should have stayed in the closet and married a tranny if he wanted to be like Barry.

“Won’t be pete. They rats understand first you have to win. Pete won’t deliver Indiana.”

That’s kind of my thinking as well. They can place Pete in the cabinet.
