"In 107 Days, Harris's new memoir of her presidential campaign, she recounts the frantic process to select a running mate as she prepared to run against Donald Trump. She discloses that Buttigieg was her first choice for the ticket, writing that he would have been an ideal partner if I were a straight white man, but that he was too big of a risk. She ultimately turned to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz instead."
"First shows her emphasis on identity politics and the American people moved on, two, it shows how low regard she holds the American people. She was just a terrible candidate. Refusing to spare Buttigieg the dignity of having been a good choice of running mate, the Treasury Secretary slammed the Democrat's record: You wouldn't pick Pete Buttigieg because he might have been worst Transportation Secretary in history. I can tell you, your friend, my friend, Sean Duffy is great Transportation Secretary."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused Vice President Kamala Harris of excluding Pete Buttigieg from consideration as a 2024 running mate because of his sexuality, calling her calculus identity politics and a sign of low regard for the American people. Harris's memoir 107 Days reveals Buttigieg was her first choice but was deemed too risky with the line that he would have been an ideal partner if I were a straight white man. Harris ultimately selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Bessent also criticized Buttigieg's record as Transportation Secretary, citing FAA problems, Amtrak issues and broader transportation neglect.
