The Atlantic Pulls Out All the Stops to Make You Think Pete Buttigieg Is a Real Man

New in PJ Media:

Among the kingmakers, queenmakers, and they/themmakers of the far left is a stubborn contingent that clings to the belief that the cure for what ails the nation’s self-styled “progressives” has been right there among them for several years now, and that his name is Pete Buttigieg.

The failed transportation secretary has the gift of being acceptable to both the Democrat Party’s leftist establishment and power-to-the-people-right-on-let’s-burn-the-house-down wing, and while there really isn’t a dime’s worth of difference ideologically between the two factions, that’s still an unusual accomplishment.

Yet Pete is not polling all that well, coming in a weak second in a recent poll. It’s a crowded field with no clear frontrunner: Buttigieg’s 16% was better than Kamala Harris’ 13%, but Gavin Newsom led the pack with 20%. And he has a big weakness, one that Kamala Harris herself identified in September 2025, as she surveyed the smoking ruins of her 2024 presidential campaign and tried to figure out whom to blame.

One of the groups she hit upon was the same American people she had just been trying to convince to vote for her. Kamala’s post mortem of the 2024 election was that Americans were just too racist to vote for her, and too besotted with traditional morality to embrace a homosexual who was “married” to a man, such as Pete.

“As Kamala Harris rushed to pick a running mate last year,” The Atlantic reported last September, “her ‘first choice’ was her close friend Pete Buttigieg, but she decided that it would be ‘too big of a risk’ for a Black woman to run with a gay man.” In her excuse-making volume 107 Days, Harris explains that Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner—if I were a straight white man. But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.” She adds tellingly: “And I think Pete also knew that—to our mutual sadness.”

Pete has to have noticed an Aug. 2025 poll that showed him with exactly zero support among black voters. Leftist sports analyst and possible future presidential candidate himself Stephen A. Smith told Bill Maher: “He doesn’t move us.” He said he would leave Maher and his audience to speculate as to why that was, but it was clear: Smith was suggesting that black voters didn’t want to vote for a gay man — the same reason why Harris left him off the 2024 ticket.

  1. Methinks that if the democrats ran against a brass monkey in 2028, they would lose!

  3. Homosexuality may not be the source of Buttigieg’s general unpopularity with the average voter.Perhaps it is the arrogance.

    • And the idiocy – like his claim of overpasses being racist when he was Transportation Secretary

      I don’t see major Dem candidates in 2028 other than Newsom and AOC. Anyone else?

  4. As the article notes,he wouldn’t get the African American vote.

    Presumably he wouldn’t get the Islamic vote either. Or at least he’d have to promise a lot of new Learing Centres as an inducement to vote for him.

    A number of the Right of Centre groups have been accused of anti-LGBT acts. So he wouldn’t get their vote.

    And anyone who was ever badly stuffed around by a transportation issue during the Biden Administration probably wouldn’t vote for him.

    So who would vote for him?

  6. I thought we were done hearing about this disgusto. He was more concerned with pretending he could be a ‘mother’ to his so-very-unfortunate adopted child, he was a stinking slob at his appointed job.

    And, I read last night that loudmouth jasmine crocket lost in her bid to be a senator.

  7. Pete Buttplug wouldn’t know a real man if it bit him on the ass….

    So according to Kamala Harris the problem is that Americans are all a bunch of racists who hate gay people–including members of her own party? Okay…
