People are going wild for a possible Kamala Harris/Pete Buttigieg 2024 ticket
As more Democrats call for President Joe Biden to pull out of the 2024 election, speculation about Vice President Kamala Harris replacing him at the top of the ticket has increased this week.
And progressives on social media are discussing who could be Harris’s running mate in this scenario, and one name keeps being brought up: out Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

In the last 5 minutes, the support for a Harris-Buttigieg ticket on this feed has been astounding. A veritable flood of enthusiasm. Didn’t expect it.If in fact the loss of support from Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, and Jeffries causes President Biden to step back, is this the ticket? pic.twitter.com/kLQ5kxV7RE— Seth Abramson (@SethAbramson) July 18, 2024
The Hill reports that two other top Democrats being publicly discussed for the position—California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer—have privately said that they do not want to be Harris’s running mate. Contenders mentioned in that article include Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ).
But for some Democrats, the dream ticket is Harris/Buttigieg. Buttigieg, who was the mayor of a mid-sized Midwestern city until his historic run for president in 2020, has since established himself as one of the Biden administration’s best spokespeople, supporting the administration’s policy priorities and responding to conservative talking points with ease in clips that have repeatedly gone viral. His youth and the historic nature of such a nomination – the first out LGBTQ+ person to run on a major party’s presidential ticket – have also added to the excitement around him.
If President Biden drops out, this is our best ticket: Kamala Harris/Pete Buttigieg.

If Biden stays in the race, I am voting for him and Kamala Harris.If he doesn’t, a Kamala Harris / Pete Buttigieg ticket would be stellar. I’d also look at other options. Anything not to have JD Vance one step away from the presidency.— Arlan (@ArlanWasHere) July 18, 2024
Not sure I want the ticket to change, but I know one thing, I’d get me a big bucket of popcorn to watch Buttigieg wipe the floor with JD Vance’s dignity, and then clean off the camera lenses for completeness …. pic.twitter.com/QDnW1SBEUW— Ryan K Harrison, MD (@rkh_md) July 18, 2024
It was my Dream Ticket in 2020 and still my Dream Ticket in 2024! Harris for Social Issues and Buttigieg for Economic Issues! And Buttigieg is fearless and will go on Fox and Chew that Scenery!!!!— MDFilms (@maddash) July 19, 2024

Only if Joe chooses to pass the torch, it’s Harris/Buttigieg 2024. Two stellar communicators who’ll take press head on Buttigieg will not have to vacate an elected officeWHAT better contrast to bigotry than to showcase diversity US was founded onAnd expose hypocrisy of MAGA— IPanthers (@Kingwoman) July 19, 2024
A Harris-Buttigieg ticket would work. Also has the added effect that the GOP folks will lose their collective minds. — Sibin (@sibinmohan) July 18, 2024
I would be proud to support a Harris-Buttigieg ticket. Proud of both of them. They are young, energetic, and really care about the US and its citizens. https://t.co/gPcAtIDp6j— MadlyXOXOXO (@MaddieMxoxox) July 18, 2024
Harris / Buttigieg would be tbh https://t.co/h8kxBBDddm— marthasmith (she/her) (@marthasmith) July 19, 2024
If Biden steps aside which is looking more likely, I'd love to see Pete Buttigieg as Kamala Harris' VP. The ultimate humiliation for Trump and his racist and homophobic party would be defeat by a powerful brown woman and gay man. #auspol #abcnews pic.twitter.com/mlwKNbQKBk— C h r i s Free Palestine (@ChrisHeHim1) July 19, 2024
I will be incredibly sad if Biden drops out. I am grateful for all that he has done for this country these last few years and during his entire career. That being said, the nomination needs to and should go to VP Harris. I would like a Harris/Buttigieg ticket.— Progressive on the Prairie (@ATSD) July 18, 2024

It’ll be Harris/Buttigieg— Scott Hanselman (@shanselman) July 18, 2024
I do not say this lightly, but I’d be donating the crap out of a Harris/Buttigieg ticket. pic.twitter.com/QqyZScVDNe— cis lesbian grandma (@my_tv_life) July 18, 2024
Harris-Shapiro or Harris-Buttigieg would get such a huge boost of excitement.— Topher Spiro (@TopherSpiro) July 19, 2024
I am once again saying that Harris/Buttigieg likely gets you a blue wave https://t.co/mvEE0iJwj8— Brian McGinnis (@brianmcg_) July 10, 2024
If Biden steps aside – which I'm still not urging – I would vote for this ticket in a heartbeat. Two charismatic, smart, engaged, committed and articulate people who speak to a very diverse demographic. And I'd pay cash money to watch Pete disembowel Vance in a debate. https://t.co/EuQxg3OV73— Michael Marshall Smith (@ememess) July 19, 2024
That would be an awesome ticket! Buttigieg is the best communicator in any party! https://t.co/R4Askt5kQd— docrod2008 (@docrod2008) July 18, 2024
Breathing it into existence.I have only regularly contributed (monthly) to one candidate and it was Pete Buttigieg. https://t.co/cChXUWiQTh— cis lesbian grandma (@my_tv_life) July 19, 2024
I've been standing with Biden, but if he leaves the race, this is a team I would endorse. https://t.co/2GHdkcaiEJ— Thea Lewis (@thealewis) July 19, 2024
