Pete Buttigieg is the single best communicator in Democratic politics right now. He’s smart, but clear-thinking. He’s quick on his feet. MAYOR PETE'S QUICK ON HIS FEET! He has the Bill Clinton-esque power to discuss policy like a normal human. He’s likable. He’s tough, but non-threatening. He’s the nicest McKinsey star you’ve ever met.
What do Democrats need, more than anything, right now?
Someone to go out and explain what the Biden administration has done right. Every. Single. Day.
They need someone to stand up at press conferences and explain why the jobs numbers are good. How the war in Ukraine is progressing. What the president is doing to box in Putin. How the administration is addressing gas prices.
Joe Biden—God love him—is not that guy.
Mayor Pete is.
And the reason I say Democrats need someone to take on this mission is because this is about more than the White House. The party’s midterm losses are going to be bounded by Biden’s approval numbers. A White House strategy that takes communications seriously could save a few seats on the margins.
So here’s the plan: Move Secretary Mayor Pete from Transportation to the White House and park him in front of reporters for an hour every damn day. Have him do daily Fox hits on Special Report and Jesse Watters. Put him on Fox News Sunday and Trey Gowdy’s show every weekend.
Have him drive the message and explain to Americans—over and over and over—what the administration is doing right and what the results in the real world are.
Mayor Pete should be a combination of spokesman and 2022 obergruppenführer3—with a portfolio that basically makes him the national-level quarterback for the White House’s midterm strategy.
