Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg served as the 32nd Mayor of South Bend, Indiana from 2012 to 2020 before running as a presidential candidate against his potential new boss, Biden.
If approved, Buttigieg would become the country’s first Senate-approved LGBTQ cabinet secretary.
“This weekend, I had the privilege of speaking to Ambassador James Hormel, who broke a barrier as the first openly LGBTQ candidate to be sent to the Senate,” Buttigieg tweeted on Sunday. “In the end, he was even denied a vote and served with a break – but he paved the way for so many, including me.”

Two hours earlier, Buttigieg tweeted: “Black and brown parts of the city were disproportionately divided by motorway projects or isolated by the lack of adequate means of transit and transport. In the Biden Harris Administration we will make it a necessity to correct these mistakes. “
