Pete Buttigieg has military experience, executive leadership experience, superior communication skills, detailed policy knowledge, bipartisan appeal, and a strong work ethic. A governing team with VP Harris and Pete would be strong and effective. #BeBold #HarrisButtigieg2024.
Twitter is going to lose its mind when, after a week of debate surrounding Josh Shapiro and Tim Walz — either of whom would make incredible picks for Vice President, Harris throws a curveball and picks Pete Buttigieg.

Stop dismissing and underestimating Pete Buttigieg’s potential over outdated fears. Pete appeals to independents, moderate conservatives, and Christians. He is the best and boldest choice for VP!. #HarrisButtigieg2024 #VPete #BeBold. VOTE FOR PETE 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿.

In 2020, 3,000 people showed up for a Buttigieg rally in Nashville, TN—the largest turnout for a Democrat in the state since Al Gore. Pete has a remarkable ability to connect with people across the political spectrum. If chosen as VP, he would help, not hurt, the ticket. #VPete.
Over 3,000 people showed up to @PeteButtigieg’s Nashville rally. That’s more than double any Democratic candidate this cycle. It’s actually our state’s biggest crowd for a Democrat since Al Gore’s election night party in 2000. They planned this event fewer than 48 hours ago.

The future is inclusive! Sec. Pete is a bold choice for VP. Dems should focus on @PeteButtigieg's policies, leadership, and crossover appeal, not on a minority of the electorate that is homophobic and already voting for Trump. #HarrisButtigieg2024 #VPete #BeBold #Buttigieg4VP

I haven't seen a poll where Pete is not leading. He is the compelling and bold choice for the VP position, and he is our most effective communicator. He has a unique ability to connect with voters across the country. ALL OF THEM!.#BeBold #HarrisButtigieg2024 #VPete.

This is an unserious take. Democrats win on policy if they have an effective messenger who can cut through the noise. I know a guy. #HarrisButtigieg2024.#BeBold #VPete #Buttigieg4VP
If this election is about policy like inflation/immigration, Trump wins. If it is about Trump, well, there’s the opening for Harris.

There has been a narrative being spread and amplified on Twitter for months by certain journalists and pundits about @PeteButtigieg. The insinuation being he is racist. Its not accidental. They know exactly what they are doing. It's grossly irresponsible and wrong. SHAME!.

The pundits this morning on @MSNBC are not fans of @PeteButtigieg. Letting their unmistakable disdain shine while talking up Biden, Bloomberg, and Deval - Wow!. Just a friendly reminder that #TeamPete needs to keep fighting hard and with positivity #blackandproud4pete.

Pundits ignoring Pete is not a mistake. They are very aware that he is our best political athlete and the future of the party. Pete's erasure is intentional. Thankfully, #TeamPete is stepping up!. #PickPete4VP #HarrisButtigieg2024 #BeBold #VPete.
Folks can have favorites and assess each VP candidate but I expect professional pundits to keep their ear to the ground and at a min acknowledge the dynamic display Pete’s been putting on for Harris. To keep acting like Pete’s not in the convo, nah we’re not gonna do that.

Another reson Buttigieg would be a great VP:. Pete is known for his detailed policy proposals and his ability to articulate complex issues in an accessible way. This complements Harris' prosecutorial background and her own policy initiatives. #VPete #HarrisButtegieg2024 #BeBold.
I know you’re trolling, but he has so many great ideas that all you’ve done is give #TeamPete a chance to nerd out on policy. My favorite is his focus on education as a necessary component of freedom for all.

In addition to his superior communication skills, Pete Buttigieg has bipartisan appeal. His moderate stance on many issues and ability to engage in constructive dialogue with conservatives would help bridge the partisan divide and attract independent voters. #HarrisButtigieg2024.

Exactly! Most know Pete because of his Fox News appearances, where he excels. But the reason why an obscure mayor with very little name recognition won IA, came 2nd in NH, and 3rd in NV was due to his unique ability to connect with voters outside of the Democratic coalition.

Humility has been a central element of @PeteButtigieg pitch from day one. It's one of the things that attracted me to his candidacy almost a year ago. #TeamPete #PeteButtigieg2020.
Humility is a new/central part of Buttigieg's pitch here in SC. "Humility may not be the first thing that leap to mind when you see somebody under the age of 40 asking you to support them for the highest office in the land . but campaigning is about humbling yourself.".

It's deeply disappointing to hear some Democrats argue against Shapiro as VP because he's Jewish or Pete because he's gay. What's wrong with you? . Bowing to racism and homophobia to appease the worst elements, both inside and outside the party, is weak. #HarrisButtigieg2024.

You all have been too busy shitting on Pete Buttigieg, asking him the same lame questions expecting a different answer for months. Never asking any substantive policy-related questions or vetting the other candidates on their records. SMDH.
Klobuchar's electability case has never had to wrestle with its lack of black support. Not even in the same way as Mayor Pete, who does better than her in polls of black voters.

So what you're saying is you'd rather support Russian and Saudi oil while destroying the environment than have to take a 15-min break on a 6-hour long trip. OBTW: The Tesla Model 3 is around $45,000, but there are other cheaper EVs and/or hybrids.
I don’t want to spend $75000 on a Tesla then have to wait 20-30 min on a trip to power up. I want to pump gas in 3 min and be on my way.
