Biden Picks Buttigieg as Transportation Secretary

“President-elect Joe Biden will nominate Pete Buttigieg to be his secretary of transportation, elevating the onetime rival to a key role in the incoming administration’s push to rebuild American infrastructure and the economy,” the Washington Post reports.

“If confirmed, the first Washington chapter of Buttigieg’s political story will be at a vast agency long viewed as a solid, if unflashy, perch but which could provide an opportunity to make a lasting mark.”
