Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday, a night focused on fighting “for our freedoms,” from democracy to reproductive rights and more. Buttigieg argued for the benefits of “the right kind of politics.” “The makeup of our kitchen table, the existence of my family -- it's just one example of something that was literally impossible, as recently as 25 years ago, when an anxious teenager growing up in Indiana wondered if he would ever find belonging in this world,” said Buttigieg, who is gay. He credited political organizing and storytelling with transforming the politics of LGBTQ rights over the past 50 years, and said Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, embody that political approach. Later in the evening, Walz will also formally accept the vice presidential nomination, a day before Harris takes the stage as the official nominee.
