Joe Biden will nominate former rival Pete Buttigieg for Transportation Secretary, according to multiple reports.
Buttigieg ran for president against Biden in the Democratic primaries, and was formerly the mayor of South Bend, Ind.
Buttigieg emerged as the winner of the 2020 Iowa caucuses, but failed to gain traction as the primaries continued. Biden has praised Buttigieg and even compared the former mayor to his late son Beau.
“I know that may not mean much to most people, but to me it’s the highest compliment I can give any man or woman,” Biden said in March.
