This week President-elect Joe Biden nominated Pete Buttigieg to lead the Department of Transportation. According to Business Insider the news of the nomination was met with derision and some lighthearted chuckling. "Mayor Pete" had overseen the city of South Bend, Indiana.

With a crumbling infrastructure and COVID still raging, only time will tell if he can handle the monumental job ahead of him.
