Let's talk about Pete Buttiged, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, now the current Secretary of Transportation under President Biden and who is being considered as a running mate for Kamala Harris in 2024.

0:16.5

Now in my opinion, Pete Budajajevj would make a terrific vice president.

0:22.4

He is easily one of the best communicators in the Democratic

0:26.7

party. He has an extraordinary skill set for debunking GOP propaganda and he's able to flip biased questions from reporters back onto them as he does so often on Fox News and finally he has a way of rattling off facts and statistics in a way that is easy to understand for the lay voter.

That is important when running a campaign and trying to win an election.

0:57.0

And those skill sets are also very important to have for the vice presidential debate.

If Harris selects Pete Buda Judge, it will drive young people to the ballot box in big numbers. the other candidates will as well but there's something

2:16.0

about Pete Budajeg that just fires me up the guy has something about him that is

2:21.7

leadership quality it's inspiring to listen to him

2:26.2

speak of course we have to address the elephant in the room which is Pete
