President Biden”s Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, is the best spokesperson in the administration bar none. He deflated the age/generational question many are tagging on the President.
Pete Buttigieg is the admin’s best spokesperson.
CNN’s Jake Tapper asked about generational change and Biden’s age, further pointing out that even Buttigieg used the argument. Pete Buttigieg handled Biden’s age and the generational question perfectly. He used the opportunity to further highlight the effectuation of the president’s successful economic and social policies.
“Generational arguments can be powerful. As you said, I’ve used them myself,” Buttigieg said. “The most powerful argument of all is results. And you can’t argue, at least I would say you can’t argue with a straight face, that it isn’t a good thing that we have had 12 million jobs created under this president. And by the way, a lot of the jobs are in manufacturing.”
Buttigieg further pivots to tie the president’s policies in a geographical and regional manner. This ensures that many who normally feel left out by Washington policies realize that they are, in fact, included.
”So many grew up in the industrial Midwest,” Buttigieg said. “It’s been so moving to see hundreds of thousands of good paying manufacturing jobs being created, including in rural areas, small towns in places like Tennessee and Louisiana and Georgia and Indiana. The kind of growth that benefits the entire American people.”
Pete Buttigieg then reminds Americans where we were, where we are now, and where we are going.
“When you look at what America was up against when President Biden took office,” Biden continued. “And what has been delivered, again, just in these first two years of this administration, let alone what’s possible as we actually start entering more and more, for example, of the construction phase on the infrastructure law, I think those results are going to continue to accumulate.”
The Transportation Secretary then through shade at the detractors.
“People will toss whatever argument they can into the mix that they think is going to benefit them the most,” Buttigieg said. “ But at the end of the day, you can’t argue with the extraordinary accomplishments more than almost any other modern president that President Biden has achieved again, under the toughest of circumstances.”
This is how it is done. A+ Mr. Transportation Secretary.
