Pete Buttigieg Is The VP Man For The Post-Trump Era
VP now, president later?
Of all the potential vice president candidates in consideration, Pete Buttigieg has shown peak precision killing it on all the cable news shows he has been on this last week and a half.
I don’t hear his name much in the VP shortlists, which seem to most often highlight Josh Shapiro, Mark Kelly, and Tim Waltz, but in this digital age of wild west communication Buttigieg cuts through the noise and stays laser-focused on the point, which he articulates clearly and compassionately.
