Does anyone else think Pete Buttigieg has had a ton of airtime for a transportation secretary?

| For a transportation secretary he’s had quite a bit of airtime and interviews from traditional news programs to radio and late night shows. I get there’s a supply chain issue but it still seems abnormal. He’s the only transportation secretary I could name off the top of my head because he’s had so much airtime. Is this how he gets tested and groomed just in case Biden decides not to run for a second term? |

He is awesome at speaking.
When someone is that good, you put him out there. |

| My theory is he’s angling for a job on cable news. There’s nothing for him back in Indiana and he has no chance of higher office because of that. So he’s trying to do a George Stephanopoulus who a lot of people are too young to realize worked in the Clinton White House. |

| It's succession planning. They cant put all their eggs in the Kamala Harris basket. She didn't fare well at all in the last primary. I'm a swing voter who currently identifies as republican, and I prefer to get to know my options. Pete seems to spend a lot of time in the public, after his eternal parental leave anyway. |

He’s brilliant and an exceptional communicator. He is, by far, the best messenger the democrats have right now.
Of course, he’s being used more than any cabinet member in history. And, yes, he will be president one day. |

4 weeks of parental leave is “eternal”? Europeans are given 4 weeks of vacation let alone doing something as important as parenting. What motivates people like you to be cheerleaders for corporations to make us their slaves? Isn’t life for living and spending time with family and not just working at a job? |

| He’s bright and articulate but has zero qualifications for the job. Biden owed him a consolation prize for dropping out of the primary and extra points for being gay. This is the idiotic nature of politics in this country. |

| He’s fantastic. He’s done an amazing job fixing all the transportation problems tRump created. And all while raising a new baby. |

| He is an excellent communicator who has a talent for breaking down complex issues to explain them in a straightforward manner. He also has no reservations about appearing on Fox News and going toe-to-toe with broadcasters who try to manipulate what he says to set him straight. He is a major asset for the administration. |

Not just raising babies, they had complications I think. He’s pretty impressive. |

I think he relishes going on Fox and destroying their narrative. He’s so so good. |

Short memory, huh? Where was he when all the supply ships were circling the waters of LA's harbors for months? He f'd that one up. |
