We’d hate to be one of the losers of the Democratic primaries and still not have a gig lined up in Joe Biden’s cabinet. After all, he picked one of the least popular candidates to be his running mate, and now word is he’s tapped Pete Buttigieg to be his Secretary of Transportation. (No word yet on him making Beto O’Rourke his gun control czar, thank goodness.)
NEWS
Reuters is reporting that @PeteButtigieg will be nominated for Secretary of Transportation.

Adam Wren, a writer and editor based out of Indianapolis, did a profile on Buttigieg in 2018 and learned that Buttigieg’s favorite board game is “Ticket to Ride.”
Fun fact: One of @PeteButtigieg's favorite board games is Ticket to Ride, a game that involves collecting trains and claiming rail routes through states across the U.S.

My favorite game is monopoly. Does that mean I'm qualified to run the fed? My mom will be so proud of me.

I'd be a better mayor than Mayor Pete based on my extensive SimCity experience https://t.co/b33y4n0nZe

Biden loves trains, Buttigieg loves trains … expect some more of those multi-billion-dollar high-speed trains to nowhere like the one California was supposed to have. Does Biden remember that one of his old bosses’ campaign promises was to build a network of high-speed trains linking the country?
???
I hope @SenateGOP remembers that @PeteButtigieg’s team was behind the plan to blackball everyone that worked for Trump, supported him or donated to his campaign. This guy shouldn’t be allowed within 100 miles of a position of power in DC. https://t.co/fo7iWGA7NK
