America if your don't get this man behind the resolute desk one day you will have missed an opportunity.

Seen Trump speak about Pete Buttigieg a couple of days ago and he said the way he remembers his name is to think of it as
Boot edge edge, he was so pleased with himself, so proud, it reminded me of a 5 year old tying his shoelaces correctly for the first time. He was once the actual president of the US and is in the running again?

Sec. Pete never says "I" - it's always "WE"

Love Mayor Pete. 💙💙💙
One of the few who speaks with sense.

I have to give it up for Pete Buttigieg and just how incredibly sharp, capable and articulate the man is. I had not idea who he was when he was running in 2020, but having watched him work and communicate and just how well spoken and capable he is, we are very fortunate to have him working for all of us in his role.

Mayor Pete is definitely one of the brightest minds in American politics today!!

[Marie-Butterfly]

Its always a pleasure to hear Pete Buttigieg speak especially now during this crisis on the coast.

[arnegerhardsen]

We have free speech in Norway too, but public lying for political gain which will harm othher people like in this hurricane isn't free speech but a serous crime which can be sentenced with prison, and why isn't these lies followed by the Police?

Thank goodness for intelligent, competent leaders like Pete Buttigieg. Vote Harris/Walz💙 Get the dangerous orange clown out of the picture.

I am a republican that voted for Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama, I voted republican down the rest of the ballot. I will be voting Democrat down the entire ballot for the rest of my life because of what republicans have allow Trump to do to America.

[DarthSailorMoo]

This is why I'm voting for America over Trump.

Holy crap! A Federal Government employee who speaks English intelligently and accurately. Our next Sec. of State.

[TREON.is.BAThit.Crazy-ej]

I voted for Biden because I was afraid of what Trump would do to our country.
I will vote for Kamala because I'm excited to see what the future will bring.

Pete is honestly a cool transportation secretary I wish they make him Secretary of State. He’s very savvy and a good leader. Articulate and honest he would be an asset his interviews be calm and precise

[jeanbergeron]

Mayor Pete…amazingly articulate and clear as usual.

[ItsMe-yvjd]

Gotta say, I love how Pete completely ignores the orange clown... simply not worth wasting oxygen to reply to HRH Donald constantly whining and complaining!

[danswan]

I can’t imagine how these people who are spreading misinformation are going to escape legal consequences after the dust settles. They are endangering lives and must be held accountable.
