Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has emerged as a top choice to be Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate in the 2024 presidential election, some recent polls show.
President Joe Biden announced this month he was stepping down from the race and threw his support behind Harris as the Democratic candidate. Harris has received endorsements from many other Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, but she will need to choose a running mate soon.
Many names have been floated, such as Buttigieg and governors Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Andy Beshear of Kentucky. However, several recent polls have shown Buttigieg as a top choice among Democratic voters.
A poll conducted by PBS News/NPR/Marist this month found 21 percent of voters saying they'd like to see Harris choose Buttigieg. Whitmer also received 21 percent in the poll, while 17 percent sided with Shapiro and 13 percent said Arizona Senator Mark Kelly.
Comment:
Kamala was Biden's token choice to be his VP.
Buttigieg was also a token choice.
Buttigieg had no experience in transportation, and he has been a failed administrator.
Buttigieg would be foolish choice for VP.
