The people of South Bend don't want him back butt maybe they can get their roads fixed now. He didn't do anything while he was there.

Are you sure? I seem to remember that the unemployment rate decreased during his Administration. Do you live in South Bend?

CNN told me so gotz 2 b legitz

(CNN)Kamala Harris on Saturday made history as America's first woman, first Black and first South Asian vice president-elect. But she will not be the first person of color to serve as vice president of the United States.

In 1928, Charles Curtis -- a Native American lawmaker and member of the Kaw Nation -- was elected as President Herbert Hoover's vice president.

Nah. CNN is corporate media. Not trustworthy at all in my estimation.

However, posting a uncited quote is plagiarism both in real life and on ATS.

Pete has an impressive background, and I liked him right away. He’s a great communicator; I also feel he should’ve gotten a better position.

Will see if his past failures combined with his "education" in economics and politics will produce bigger failures with bigger impacts on more Citizens 😃❗

He's been a Washington insider for a long time ☠️

How do you know he has been a "Washington insider" for some time/

Past failures? What were those?

He's a decorated veteran, his education is at Harvard and Oxford, so ... what are you concerns about his education?

What failures? South Bend reduced it's unemployment rate while he was in office, resulting in a better economy, etc.

Can you be more specific?

Study his bio and connections. It's common connections. That's how I know 🤣🤣🤣

Oh Oh !!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣


Judicial Watch: Buttigieg agrees to search his email for records regarding his role in the creation of ‘ID cards to help illegal aliens’

Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg agreed to do his own personal search of his emails, rather than be deposed for testimony by a top conservative government watch dog group “for records related to the creation of ID cards to help illegal aliens in South Bend, Indiana,” stated the organization Wednesday.

Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit for Buttigieg’s emails in August, 2019. According to JW, he agreed to the search, in an effort to avoid being deposed and in response to the court order issued by the judge, after the City of South Bend failed to respond as required by law to open records requests. The records request was for all emails between Buttigieg, members of his staff and officials of La Casa de Amistad, regarding the Community Resident Card program, Judicial Watch stated.

I'd probably ignore the hacks at Judicial Watch too.

Their track record is not inspiring.

Who is this Kristen that Joe Biden is referring to?

The only thing Democrats count as credible are indictments.

Another Biden selection for his "Cabinet" 😃

Today's is for the Department of Transportation !!

And the winner is ....... Pete Buttigieg !!

Big production effort for the official announcement.

(CNN)President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday introduced former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg as his nominee for transportation secretary.

"I got to know Pete on the campaign trail. He is one of the smartest people you'll ever meet and one of the most humble. A mayor from the heartland, a management expert, a policy wonk with a big heart, a veteran, lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserve, an intelligence officer deployed to Afghanistan while he was mayor. A new voice with new ideas, determined to move past old politics," Biden said at an event in Wilmington, Delaware.

If confirmed by the US Senate, Buttigieg would be the first LGBTQ Cabinet secretary approved by the chamber.
