Will mention here again - People forget Pete served in USN in Afghanistan 2014-2017. Also was an armed driver for a year in and out Kabul transporting commanders avoiding explosives and traps. Speaks 8 languages. Far a cut above everyone who tries to punch him down.

[blipmachine]

He likely won’t be the VP but Pete needs to campaign hard for Kamala across the country. He’s the dems best current communicator.

I’m British and I’ve been impressed with Pete Buttigieg for some time now…the world could do with a lot more folks like him in politics! Outstanding! 👏🤩

[barbaraprice]

We need more people like Pete Buttigieg who speaks clearly and to the point. No back stabbing.

[digital_crickets]

Pete Buttigieg is the level of intelligent leadership that I wish the entire country was wise enough to embrace.

[BentonRox]

That's gotta be the longest standing ovation any Secretary of Transportation has ever gotten.

[elaineswanson]

PETE BUTTIGIEG is a gift to America. As a retired educator, I am so pleased that the country is still producing public servants with his commitment and communication skills. I predict that he will be the President of the United States one day.

[OmahaRiverDonkey]

He's only 42, he's a future President.

[blazemonger]

"When i was in Afghanistan and there was a rocket attack, my commitment to this country felt pretty physical" - Mic drop .. what a statement to make.

[paulinemuthena]

The man is Harvard grad, a Rhodes scholar and he served in Afghanistan. And he is so young.He will be president one day.He is calm and humble but unstoppable.

[denisemurphy]

Mr Buttigieg is genuinely respectful of everyone, something very rare in America.

[ccwoodlands]

Pete: “What’s the point of a having conversation if you’re not speaking to people who don’t already agree with you?” That’s gold, Jerry! That’s gold!

[michaels]

Every time hear Pete Buttigieg speak I feel more hopeful for the USA.

[chriskelly]

70, straight, white want the VP to be smart, articulate, compassionate... That's Pete.

[fredc.meekinsjr.]

I wish the people of this country were open minded enough to elect this guy. He is immensely qualified, very smart and I just don't think we are there yet, unfortunately for us. I would love to be proven wrong.

[bobbieingersoll]

He checks so many boxes: quick and informed mind, ultra lucid speaker, very likeable, respectful, and doesn't miss a beat! Hang onto him, Kamala! Hope to see him get a prominent position in her cabinet.

[reddbeagle]

Mayor Pete has that optimistic aura that Obama has, such a positive vibe. Our country could really use that right now.

[randallreed]

When Pete Buttigieg was running for POTUS in 2020, I worked on several of his rallies in Charleston SC. I saw him on the stump and "backstage." He is very articulate, well-read, smart as a whip, and firmly in control of his emotions. I would vote for Pete Buttigieg for ANYTHING in a skinny second!

[rickenbackerboy]

As a 70-year-old, I can explain the crowd's ovation from a historical (i.e. "older") perspective: precisely how many people in that audience ... those in their 50's and 60's and 70's ... have pondered what it would've been like to see a young John Kennedy on, say, the Jack Paar Show on a 50's TV show. Meaning ... there's a lot of folks in that audience that realize they're in the same room as a future U.S. president. Wish I'd been there ❤

“It is important to reach people where they are.” Phenomenal.
