Who cares who a rapper is going to vote for?

Because he’s pulling the youth vote away from Harris!!!

Yeah, sure, right. Oh, no. Whatever will we do.

If Harris picks him the black community would get on board. He had Jim Clyburn’s support and he (Buttigieg) is the father of two black children. Pete would be a phenomenal ally for the black community and all of America.

He's also on record as telling his black constituents he didn't care so good luck with that.

He brings nothing to the table that Harris needs and actually poses a risk to losing votes

He's a no.

Get over it.

You're wrong and I'm not getting over it. He brings a lot that she needs - he's an adept communicator, messenger, and attack dog. He loves policy and has a brilliant and calm demeanor. Any of the choices are risky and she very well may not choose him, but he's still the smartest pick.

He's also very smart and good at seeing how best to message while campaigning. I was a doubter, but the more I've gotten to know his work, the more I see him as a potential good President.

This would be a mistake.
Let him be Press secretary.

Not VP

Generally, once you've been the Secretary of Transportation, Press Secretary is a step down, but who knows?

He can go home as far as I'm concerned. Don't like him at all wish he disappeared after 2020. But he got a nod in the party because the Hollywood Dems want him.
He has his shine in transportation he can stay there or go home
No VP for him.

He has been an effective administrator and transportation advocate. What is your problem with him?

Different person. I'm gay, but I also think it would not be smart to pick gay VP. Will hurt election odds, not worth the risk.

Does he appeal to white working class conservative leaning mean and women?

Of course not. He is the opposite of the smartest pick—does actual harm and brings little substance or history of accomplishments. The Pete stans are exhausting and do not acknowledge his weaknesses. Best not to engage further. Let’s keep the focus on the solid prospects.

You know I used to think the Pete people were trolls.
Now I think they are actually trying to hype him up in order to sway public opinion the way everyone talked up Harris so her ratings have improved over the week.
I've said it before and been told I'm wrong.
But I really feel there's disagreement in the party on the pick and each side is trying to raise their person's profile

He's incredibly condescending for one. People don't like how.

Extremely polarizing among black voters

He brings absolutely nothing to the ticket that is needed.

Give him some throwaway job in the administration if you want.
But no VP.

I love it! The more surrogates out there talking Harris up, the better.

Surrogates?!

Yeh, people out there boosting Harris. They are called surrogates. Seems like the thread has gone sideways.

Bummed Cooper dropped out but understand why. I think he was a top choice. He and Harris have good relationship from AG times, he has experience as legislators, AG and governor. I’m sure he’ll be Senator in 2026.

They’ve always just been called supporters.

No, they are not supporters. They’re called political surrogates. It’s a real term. It’s people who go out and stump for the candidate.

No. Surrogates parrot the candidate or official’s talking points when they cannot do so themselves, either because the issue is too contentious or they simply cannot be in many places at once.

All surrogates are supporters but not at supporters are surrogates.

I like Beto but I don't think he's right for this year .
Perhaps a position in the administration

Beto is a lightweight with an ability to come up shining. Harris wants substance (I mean I don’t know but my version of Harris wants her to want substance). Beto needs to do a bit more heavy lifting before he’s ready for prime time.

Pete was a mayor. And then transportation secretary (and although I know it’s not his fault but transportation in this country sucks. My kid experienced 2+hours of delays on Amtrack NYC to Dc and and again Dc to Phil and again flight Phil to Bos and in Ma my other kid experienced a 2 week delay of metro services from our closest stop to fix an issue where the wrong track was installed.) he’s not ready. Gov Healy (MA, also gay, former attorney gen who took on Perdue pharma much better pedigree) has the experience of anyone is out to check a box. Pete’s just not ready now.

I’m not into Kelly. Beshear Is my favorite. He would destroy Vance.

No, actual elected officials holding events and talking to media for other candidates have been called surrogates for decades.
