The article discusses former transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s reaction to former Vice President Kamala Harris’s decision not to choose him as her vice-presidential running mate<\/a>.In her book *107 Days*,Harris revealed she considered selecting Buttigieg but ultimately decided against it,believing it would be “too big of a risk” for America to accept both a Black woman president and a gay vice president concurrently. Harris indicated that Buttigieg was her first choice if she were not “a black woman married<\/a> to a Jewish man.”<\/p>\n

Buttigieg publicly disagreed with this assessment, expressing surprise and stating that he believes voters deserve more credit for their openness. He emphasized that voter trust is earned through policies and actions rather than identity categories. Harris eventually selected Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the 2024 election but lost to President Donald Trump. The article reflects on the speculation that choosing a different running mate might have influenced the election outcome.<\/p>\n

The piece also touches on Harris’s unclear political future, including speculation about a potential 2028 presidential run, and mentions Buttigieg’s continued political involvement and possible candidacy for president in 2028. Additionally, Buttigieg recently opposed Republican-led redistricting changes in Indiana, criticizing them as pressured and wrong.
