Pete Buttigieg May Be Contender For Biden’s Cabinet | NBC News NOW
Not surprising, Buttigieg was doing very well using his profile to support Biden in the last leg of the campaign.
Can this woman find her inside voice?
I hope BIDEN be very CAREFUL about this guy. I never trust him, something about him just doesn’t sit well with me as a woman of color.
I am just as excited to see who will get positions in Biden’s cabinet as I was to see him win, and I’m not American! 🇮🇪💚🇮🇪
GO TRUMP !!!
1) Less coffee.
2) Inside voice.
Mayor Pete is perfect as Press Secretary
This is one.of the BEST choices that Biden could have made to put in his Cabnet 😍🖤
Yes! I like Pete. I was hoping he’d get a spot. Also Stacy Abrahams.. hope she gets one too.
I hope President Biden does pick him. Pete Buttigieg is very smart
It’s great to see the comment section not dominated by MAGAts crying that MSM or whatever all going against their cult god and yet they still comment in MSM video 🙄.
Waiting for the Biden ‘gun grab’. Should be fun, and not for the ‘gun grabber’s.
No shortage of socialist to pick from. Better dead than red.
Yes, yes and more yes!!!!
Stacey Abrams deserves a spot as well once democrats win the senate in Georgia she gets all the credit for her efforts. Also vindman and his brother needs to be rehired. All the fbi personnel fired by trump need to be rehired. Brennan needs to be reinstated as director of the cia. The ambassador of Ukraine needs to be rehired. Give me a minute I’ll come up with more people.
Politico says Bernie could be in Labor, Elizabeth Warren in Commerce, Mayor Pete in Vets Affairs, Dept of Interior could be Dev Haaland, EPA to Jay Inslee, and Transportation could go to Eric Garcetti.
Buttigieg has proven to be an effective surrogate for Biden, especially what he’s done in shutting down fox News personalities.
i was hoping he would be on the cabinet
I think Bernie would be great for sectretary of health and human services!
I would hope he is. He is a very intelligent person.
Pete earned a position in the Biden/Harris cabinet 👍
We the people want a fair unbiased PROGRESSIVE agenda for ALL in a Biden Harris Administration
Rufus Gifford and Barack Obama should be in the team too..
Pete will be great he is so smart and qualified.
Biden had better place Stacey Abrams in his cabinet!
Buttigieg best man for the job, hope to see him president someday
Her screeching voice & tone drives me nuts!!!!!!
yeah…in charge of flower arranging.
Pete Buttigeig is a leader 🇱🇷🇨🇦 and would be an asset as well as Stacey Abrams ! Looking forward to some real leadership 🙏❤️👍
Buttigieg and Yang are a must have in the cabinet. They do not hold any office right now, so they don’t have to give up anything; unlike Warren, Sanders, Klobuchar, etc who will have to give up their senate seat, or someone like Abrams or O’Rourke who might want to try again running for senate/governor in a few years
White House spokesman ( Press Secretary) will be ideal..
Do you have plans to cover how Trump intends to pressure Republican governors and state legislators to appoint electors who will vote him during the Electoral college votes Dec 14 no matter who we the people voted for?
A FUTURE PRESIDENT PETE!!!
Hope Mayor Pete stays around and very involved. He is extremely intelligent, articulate and posed and we he is a great contributor to have around.
Let us hope, when the transition smooths out (oh please, oh please) that Mr. Biden remembers the gentleman who made the single most significant “contribution” to Joe Biden’s election (and removal of Donald Trump). Without question Mayor Pete should be on this cabinet – Secretary of Education has a good ring to it. And this time we would have someone with an actual interest in this responsibility.

Pete spot on educated move country forward .
Slayer Pete. They’re all governing super stars 🌟 they really can’t go wrong with the best of the best💙 🇺🇸😀🇺🇸💙
It would be nice to have Buttigieg as the ambassador of the United Nations. Especially since just alittle over a month ago Mike Pompeo brought his “Commission on Unalienable Rights” to the UN. Not surprisingly the commission contains anti lgbtq members and the UN said it felt like a step backwards.
So relieved to see that the new administration is shaping up – with intelligent, educated, eloquent people!!!
Pete Buttigieg Great Man
YESSSS!!!! Pete Buttigieg will make a great addition to this administration, and eventually he will make an AWESOME PRESIDENT!!!! He is one of the smartest Americans and greatest political thinkers alive without question.
Everyone is trying to ship Biden and Buttigieg and I stans it
Buttuigieg will get a position. That is what Obama promised him when he dropped out. Never in USA presidential election history has someone won Iowa, took 2nd in NH and dropped out on Super Tuesday. The fix was in.
Yes yes yes! Can’t over-approve.
Mayor Pete!!!!!!
…and watch the white catholics that pushed Biden over the finish line vanish into thin air…
dems dont understand why they “won”, do they?
Andrew Yang
Pete is a very intelligent Young man! AL Franken would be a good pick too.
We need Stacy Abrams of Georgia need to be part of Biden’s team!!! And Big Pete from Indiana without a doubt and it’s a must!!
Anything to shore up his foreign policy deficiencies. State Department or Ambassador to the U.N will do nicely to pad his future presidential resume.
I and my kids needed my husband to be back home this Christmas. I knew fully well that I must learn to love myself before anything else and i knew he was meant for me with no doubt, because when we first met till after 14 years of our marriage, he was there for me. After our divorce, without a shadow of a doubt I do feel completely off balance and i was living each day with no direction and very little actual presence of myself, I felt like I was on auto pilot and I was wasting day after day all in pains.. And as of February 3rd, he started bringing in all the lies, the other women, etc. I knew I married for bigger reasons so I hope its just the fog of our issues that brought in the uncertainty. I always liked to keep an open mind, because ultimately, I just wanted everything to be ok with the 3 of us (my son my husband and myself) And Its has not been easy after all the times he’s left. I just didn’t want to keep falling deeper into the wrong direction. My divorce totally went into default in FEBRUARY. I was totally frustrated and i needed help from an online spell caster which Dr. Azaman rendered to me completely. Finally I am writing this testimony to offer my thanks and deep gratitude to you Dr. Azaman for keeping to your words and your promises in bringing him back to me in just 44 hours of your powerful spell casting, and for using your gifted and great powers to bring him back today the 2nd of November 2020. Its an Amazing experience i had with Dr. Azaman. His whatsapp num +2349152041327
There will be No Biden Cabinet!
Watch……………
Voter Fraud!
Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman said he anticipates Trump’s lawsuits to be tossed out of court.
“The bottom line is math doesn’t care about your feelings, math doesn’t care about your baseless lies and allegations, and math has made Joe Biden President-elect and you are standing in the way of an orderly transition,” Fetterman told Yahoo Finance Live. “And it’s just time we get on with it. So this idea that you somehow can alter the outcome through a lawsuit without any evidence, without any facts, when the math is overwhelmingly against you, I don’t understand, you know, why they want to continue this on.”
Excellent choice!! Pete is an intelligent person!!
Mayor Pete rocks, he will help restore face to the world.
That would be a smart move
Yea
I hope so. Pete B is very impressive!
I nominate AndrewYang for Secretary of State. Yes, Buttigieg will be a great secretary.
Bluk
Wow, it’s almost like corruption gets you a place in the cabinet. Pete drops out to stonewall Bernie, and as a reward like a good little lapdog he gets a prime spot in the admin. WOW, it’s almost like a QUID PRO QUO. WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT?
I hope Biden gives Stacey Abrams a position.
I would love to see Mayor Pete have a part in the Biden cabinet.
I like Pete
Yes! Yes! Yes! –Bonnie Robinson
I think Pete Buttigieg should fill a new position, American Bipartisan Ambassador. He should be out all over the country and on Fox, bringing Americans back together.
Pete, Yang and Beto.
Yes. Put Pete’s language skills to good use.
Buttigieg is so intelligent !
Pete will be president. 👍
Um, if anything make him Press Sectary… He is a good talker, but unqualified in some any other places…Just saying..
All the Dem president contenders should be first in line for a job . Unite !
Let us all hope so — mayor Pete – would be a brilliant choice —- he certainly will be better than any of the trump stooge lemming he now has there.
It needs to be a position that’s challenging but where his career won’t be buried because we need him all the way ahead. He can handle many things and be effective anywhere, but let’s not put him just anywhere. I feel like he would know which position would be good for him and for the country…
I’ve tried watching several of the NBC News videos – and I can’t figure out you she talks so loud…. I can’t turn down the volume because then I can’t hear the people she’s talking too. I haven’t made it through 1 full post…
Pete is highly qualified for any government job including President which he will be some day , NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT ! ! ! !
Just appoint him as Press secretary
Pete for Secretory of state
Mayor pete love to pack 💩. He the best at what he does
Buttigieg great pic, I hope it’s so. Also Biden, needs to hire Stacey Abrams for a position in his cabinet
Have great respect for Mayor Pete and think it would be very wise to take full advantage of his many talents.
V.A. secretary or possibly un ambassador
I hope Biden puts in pro police Republican for Homeland & DOJ & FBI & ICE and someone like me who is middle-conservative would go a long long way!!!
Elizabeth Warren for Treasury. Glenn Kirschner for AG, Katie Porter Health and Human Services, Mayor Pete United Nations, The Vindman Brothers as Ambassadors, Susan Rice as National Security Advisor … no need to reinvent the wheel. I would like to see Gavin Newsom. Andrew Yang and Andrew Cuomo in cabinet posts as well.
I vote for Peter Buttigieg. He is a smart guy.
That would be nice if Buttigieg do except a cabinet member but think he would be good somewhere else but where we have to think a bout
if cut out the middle man cant turn each other against each other and their will be less wars and less people making money off war – we wont be crying hard times because we know survival and if want to stay in space their is no kosher meal it out in space its survival
You think orourke will be in it?
how can you put deaths on president and nonmask wearers but not china
Trump 2020 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Susan Pryce as Secretary Of State
Why not Pete for Secretary of State? Not exactly hard to follow Pompeo.
The host could use a little more energy and be a little more assertive, no?
J. Castro or Bill DBlasio for housing secretary for sure
Biden’s cabinet will be in a cell on Ryker’s Island
My GOD… why is this woman SCREAMING? Jesus. Such a massive turnoff.
What about Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard. if Biden is really serious about unifying the country those two had the biggest cross over supporters than anyone else, on top of that they are both highly intelligent and super relatable.
LOL they don’t want senators as they will take away the chance of a Dem held senate if they win the 2 seats in Georgia yet they pick Kamala for VP. Smells like they are looking for a reason to say no to Bernie for a cabinet position.
We all want to see Pete in a great position.
