Buttigieg brings up Vance beef at Democratic convention
SUMMARY
During his address at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg criticized Republican VP nominee Sen. J.D. Vance, contrasting his approach with that of former VP Mike Pence. Buttigieg took issue with Vance's remarks suggesting that childless individuals lack commitment to the future, sharing his own experience as an Afghan war veteran without children. He claimed that Vance's comments were part of a broader pattern of 'negativity', criticizing former President Trump’s choice of running mate as an extension of this mindset.
