Pete, so impressive.
Love that man!!!
Obama is still hands down the best orator to large groups of people in politics, but Pete might be the best negotiator and general speaker in smaller groups. He is so good at making reasonable and relevant points on the fly, especially to people who don't want to agree with him. And especially when he brought it home in this speech, he showed a growing ability there as well. He'll be a powerful teammate to Kamala/Walz.
Petey B for PREZ!!! 🎉
My money is on that – after Kamala has done her two terms – he is the Democrats' next presidential candidate.
Love this smart young man
The left is saying that the right is guilty of cancel culture?
HE IS AMONG THE OUTSTANDING POLITICIANS IN THE U.S. HE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT. LET HIM DEBATE TRUMP…….WOULD MAKE TRUMP LAUGHABLE!
Pete is going to hold a very high position in the future. He's proven himself to be fearless and dedicated to what is right for the country and it's people.
Secretary of State
Brilliance
I first heard Pete speak in February of 2019. People at my library system had the brilliance to have him as a speaker. I was instantly mesmerized — he was an incredible speaker and there was just something special about him. My husband and I went to South Bend when he made his announcement that he was running for President in the 2020 campaign. That experience was one of the best of my life. I too, hope that Pete will be our next Secretary of State and eventually President. Thank you, Pete for all that you do.
Is that the pete that’s married to another man and somehow they scammed woman’s parts and malpractice birthing rights?
Lgbtq men getting pregnant?
That’s another reason why this pandemic hit
Missing Persons
Perhaps for they’re god given body parts being taken
Lord knows
Further investigation is required and no you can not do that under the terms democracy in North America
Maybe in British lands but not over here
Well if i did not think this already but right here in 8 years time is the next Democrate pick for President. Lets hope you guys are smart enough to pick Kamala for 2024 and 2028 thne Buttigieg step up for another 8. You have a golden oppertunity to reject the far right of the Republicans for a long time. Don't squander it.
I was so sorry I missed this speech. I then heard a critic saying it wasn’t so great. Thank you for sharing. I love Secretary Pete and this was a wonderful speech that quite literally left me in tears. Vote Blue America! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Pathetic. All speeches were the same: talk crap about your political opponents. Cut away all that, all the talk about joy, brat and whatever, then what remains? Nothing.
I absolutely adore this guy! So brilliant, so poised, so ethical! The current Democratic party has the great fortune of having a deep and talented bench, and none of them in my view are more talented at communication than Pete Buttigieg.
I'm an Australian and have nothing to do with US politics but this guy is phenomenal. One of the best orators I've ever seen, many of us here are impressed.
Pete is a rockstar! Gets a standing renovation wherever he goes!
Since Biden and Kamala have been in office every bill I have had has gone WAY up!. Get our your pocket book and give ALL you money to Kamala if she wins.
Kamala=INFLATION. Please don't vote for her.
Pete, please support Kamala and Tim for their terms but please, please, please run for the presidency when you have the chance. You have the support
This guy is presidential as they come
I wish Pete was president. He is brilliant and is so amazing at taking on the press and opponents without getting shaken at all. Maybe someday….
I could listen to Mayor Pete talk Is all day ,He's a great speaker. God bless America.
WE CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS MAN. IT MAKES US A VERY PROUD AMERICAN. VERY POWERFUL VOICE HE HAS. IMPRESSIVE!
Pete is amazing! I wish him the best.
I wish the country were ready for a president like him….
Pistol Pete puts it perfectly. The choice between darkness and joy, the past and the future. Is there really a choice?
After Kamala? =)
Yeah bro said a whole lot of nothing
such an eloquent speaker, always. You can event tell by the look on his face that he spent the least time staring at the teleprompter of anyone speaking at the DNC..
Thank You Pete 🇺🇸
Harris 💙 Walz 💙
Bring Back Joy 😊
The only thing Petey has achieved since he's been in office is …..HUH NOTHING
Democrats are the real governing party. The other guys are the crazy people yelling at clouds.
❤❤❤
Wow, what an orator.
as a veteran, I approve this message.
I can listen to Pete anytime ❤
stands applauding
Love this guy!!! He needs to be president!!
Damn, Pete!
Mayor Pete has more class, more charisma and more intelligence in his thumb than all of MAGA combined. Hoping he runs for President in 8 years, he’s got my vote.
This guy is good!

The criminal running against the prosecutor 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
This man might just unite a very polarised America.
great speech
