I remember what Obama said about Pete: Pete is the future of the Democratic Party.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

And Joe Biden, on camera, promised that Pete would have a place in his administration.

This I saw myself.

He will have a spot, who knows which one, but it will remove the complaint that he's inexperienced.

I expect that he will be our President some day.

I hope to still be alive.

1. I viewed him this primary as basically a younger Joe Biden.

He was just a little inexperienced and it cost him. My hope is that he secures a cabinet position in the Biden administration and uses that as a catapult.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I agree that he was inexperienced. But he started from NOTHING.

When he established his committee to explore running, he was unknown outside of South Bend.

He had a huge hill to climb, to become known and then to run, along with dealing with his sexuality.

As I said in my OP, Biden has promised him a position in his administration, and that will cancel out any reference to inexperience.

I am sure he will use that position to catapult himself again into the national scene.

2. Mayor Pete must have a spot in Biden's administration, a prominent one.

He is brilliant, and he gets it.

[Indykatie]

3. Pete Would Be Excellent in a Number of Roles. Biden May Select His as His Chief of Staff.

[democrattotheend]

22. I was thinking VA Secretary

COS would be a good role for him too, perhaps. But if he wants to run again he's probably better off serving in a cabinet post or running for federal office.

4. Pete and many more!!!

Proud to be a Democrat. The party for a better tomorrow.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. He makes me proud to be a Democrat too!

[pamdb]

7. Pete

What I wou love is when Joe is elected and whether he serves one term or two, Kamala would run for President and Pete would be the VP. I don’t know if I’ll live that long but I’m going to try.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I want to live that long too, and I am working on it!

There is still so much to do, personally and nationally.

[Wednesdays]

9. I would certainly welcome this

However, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
GOTV! GOTV! GOTV!

[Clearly fogged in]

10. I hope you still are too

His appearance on the gates of hell (faux) this morning (?) was impressive

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Pete has always said that he goes to Fox News so that they will hear him too.

He has pointed out that how can they be expected to hear and understand him if he doesn't talk to them?

I always thought that was a very valid point.

[JaneQPublic]

11. "He reminds me of Beau"

That's what Joe said when he accepted Pete's endorsement.

Skip to 1:25 to see Joe's heartfelt praise of Pete.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I remember seeing this when it happened. Heartbreaking and yet hopeful, for all of us.

The great friendship between these two bodes well for our country and for his administration.

[JaneQPublic]

17. Perhaps even surrogate father/son relationship

After all, Pete lost his father in Jan 2019.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Oh yes. I had heard that mentioned as well. They both had huge losses.

That was almost certainly part of their bond.

[Frustratedlady]

12. I agree. He is very impressive and will hopefully have an important job in the Biden Admin.

He would also help in the calming of America by his ability to give good replies to concerns of citizens.

[Rice4VP]

14. I think he should be the Press Secretary

I would watch his briefings everyday

[littlemissmartypants]

20. His skill set is way too advanced for that. He deserves a position with more clout and influence.

Aside from being a quick study he's a compassionate communicator. I can't wait to see what's ahead for him.

[State the Obvious]

16. Also, thanks to Pete for assisting Kamala with debate prep...excellent job!

I was raised and educated in the Midwest, so immediately noticed the distinctive calm, unflappable tone Senator Harris brought to the debate.....a good example of Pete's influence and expertise. Probably caught Pence off guard.

Doug Emhoff and Chasten Buttigeig became friends during the long primary season. So, the four (Kamala, Doug, Pete and Chasten) can and WILL work well together in the future. Another winning combination.

[orwell]

18. The first time I heard him...

...it was on a Commonwealth Club radio broadcast. It was early Sunday morning. I didn't catch his introduction. Within 15 minutes I said, "who is this guy."

His intellect, warmth, and common sense comes through immediately.

He is a star right now. It's just that a lot of people don't know it yet.

If the US can ever get over it's hypocritical homophobia he will be a force to be reckoned with.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. He and Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez.

Wouldn't they make a dream ticket at some point?

[Crunchy Frog]

23. I hope so. I've seen some spots with him on Faux, and he's incredible.

But I don't think he could win higher office in as backwards a state as Indiana, and that's even if he wasn't gay.

The good news is that he's so young that he's got decades to get to the presidency.

I'm especially happy to see him treading in Faux waters and maybe influencing or shifting attitudes among their viewers.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. You are right about Indiana.

This is why he didn't try for public office there. The folks in South Bend already knew him and liked what they saw.

And the reason he's talking to people via Fox News is to let them know directly who he is and what he believes. They can't vote for him if all they know are incorrect stereotypes.
