Former presidential candidate and current Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg slammed Trump’s type of politics and said Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) are giving voters an opportunity to choose “better politics” during his speech at the Democratic National Convention.
“I don’t presume to know what it’s like in your kitchen,” Buttigieg said. “I know as sure as I am standing here today that everything in it: the bill you pay at that table, the shape of the family that sits there, the fears and the dreams that you talk about late into the night there.”
“All of it compels us to demand more from our politics than a rerun of some TV wrestling death match,” Buttigieg said.
“We will choose a better politics. A politics that calls us to our better selves and offers a better everyday. That is what Kamala Harris and Tim Walz represent. That’s what Democrats represent. That is what awaits us when America decides to end Trump’s politics of darkness once-and-for all.”
