They're pushing Buttgieg as a pres hopeful for...when?? 2024. LOLOLOOL LOOK at the approvals for Biden's other appointees. I wouldn't call them 'underwater' but looks like that is exactly where most americans would like to see them....i mean literally...UNDER. WATER.
BOOTYjij iS higher in approvals than Biden. Kamala at 28 or less.
Deeper in the Politico piece, however, it becomes clear that Pete Buttigieg’s meager 38% approval rating is only “high” when compared to other members of Biden’s cabinet.
Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen has an approval rating of just 33%, United States Attorney General Merrick Garland has an approval rating of 30%, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken has an approval rating of just 29%.
The ratings continue to fall for other figures in Biden’s administration. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has an approval rating of 26%, as does White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain. Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Energy, has an approval rating of just 25%.
Despite his objectively negative approval rating, the attempt to portray Buttigieg as a popular option among unpopular figures appears to play into a broader media strategy to promote the former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, as a frontrunner for the 2024 presidential election.
“The Buttigieg presidential buzz has penetrated the White House,” announced Politico, on the same day.
The desire to portray Buttigieg as a rising star of Democratic Party politics may be more indicative of the fact that there appear to be so few good choices..
