00:00Donald Trump might still be reeling from his debate with Kamala Harris
00:03But on October 1st each candidate's vice president pick will also go head-to-head and during Democrat Tim Walz's debate prep
00:11He's reportedly doing so with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg
00:15The Washington Post first reported the story outlining that he was also the choice for debate prep for Harris four years ago
00:21Of course in 2020 she was preparing for her own vice presidential debate against then vice president Mike Pence
00:27Buttigieg was actually asked whether or not he would aid in debate preparations this time around last month
00:33Telling MSNBC interviewers that he would help however he can
00:36Adding, although I'm still recovering a little bit from the experience of trying to inhabit the mind of Mike Pence
00:42I'll do anything to help this ticket win
00:44But I don't know if it will come to that
00:46Pete Buttigieg has been a somewhat unlikely spokesperson for the Democratic Party recently
00:50He ran against Joe Biden in the primary in 2020
00:54Taking the Transportation Secretary position within the administration once Biden took office
00:58His work for the American people has been immeasurable in that position since
01:02Holding airlines more accountable and being instrumental in the bipartisan raise infrastructure bill
01:08He has also been a voice of calm reason in a time of increasingly fiery tribal politics in America
01:13Something many hope to see when Walz takes the stage during the debate in October
