king of the county Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Joe Biden taps Pete Buttigieg as his transportation secretary He would be the first gay cabinet secretary if his confirmation makes it through the Senate By Morgan Phillips President-elect Joe Biden tapped South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg to serve as Transportation Secretary in the new administration, the Wall Street Journal reported. Buttigieg was one of the first former Democratic candidates to endorse Biden after the South Carolina primary. After that, Biden said of Buttigieg: "I don't think I've ever done this before, but he reminds me of my son Beau. I know that may not mean much to most people, but, to me, it's the highest compliment I can give any man or woman." He would be the second gay cabinet secretary if his confirmation makes it through the Senate, after Richard Grenell served as acting Director of National Intelligence under President Trump. Buttigieg could score much-needed experience in the role as many believe the 38-year-old will run for the presidency again. The role of transportation secretary will be key to a bipartisan infrastructure package Biden has been pushing for. Trump himself pressed for an infrastructure deal earlier in his administration, but talks across the aisle fell apart over how to pay for such a bill. Biden’s $2 trillion Build Back Better proposal looks to revive the economy and invest in schools, water systems, municipal transit and broadband access. Buttigieg has emerged as a frontrunner for Transportation in recent days after earlier reports predicted he might be tapped for ambassador to China or the United Nations. Other Democrats considered for the post included former Chicago mayor and Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. Emanuel received pushback from the left, with some saying he conspired as mayor to cover up an officer-involved shooting of a Black teen. Black Lives Matter activists protested for days outside of Garcetti’s home over the news he might be tapped for the Biden cabinet. They’ve been critical of his handling of the LAPD and police brutality protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XavierOnassis Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Buttigieg knows more than poor Kingaroo ever will. The guy taught himself Norwegian during bathroom breaks. He is probably the smartest guy ever to run for president. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XavierOnassis Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 No one has had worse appointments than Trump. Was Carson worse than DeVos, or vice versa? Trump passed out White House jobs like bon bons to his useless hildren. Barr sucked, Pompeo sucked, Kavanaugh sucked, Coney Island sucked. The most lilywhite cabinet since Ike. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a good place for him to get experience and show whether or not he can elevate his abilities from being the mayor of a medium sized city to managing a department much larger than he's done in the past. I think he'll do just fine, time will tell. He is destined for bigger and better things. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
