Yes, it is the same criteria that made Harris VP.  Ignore ability and experience in favor of checking identity boxes.

Pete was the mayor of a small city who was made Sec of Transportation to step out of the way of Biden's coronation.

He isn't remotely qualified for his current job and the idea of him moving up is laughable.  [/quote]

He wanted to be Press Sec reportedly. He would have been good in that role but Biden had a stack of former actually experienced Biden/Clinton/Obama staffers to hire for the real jobs.

He could have taken a Ambassadorial posting and just whiled the years away doing nothing but the problem there was he's limited to only certain regions (basically everywhere but Europe and maybe Asia was out) and then on top of that with his new 'family' focus, being an international resident while trying to hire a surrogate or go through an adoption agency would have been just impossible.

*shrug* He joined the 2020 race to get a job, any job, and there was nothing left for him back in the plains of Indiana.[/quote]
