Pete Buttigieg visit
On Wednesday, July 31, one of the names floated for Harris' vice president, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, visited Milwaukee.
He's not the favorite to get the Democratic vice president nomination, but gamblers betting on the pick rank him in the top five.

A Politico headline earlier this week read, "‘We all realize it’s unlikely.’ But Pete Buttigieg’s VP stock is rising," and another from The Hill wrote "Buttigieg is everywhere as Harris' team weighs running mates."

The Transportation Secretary joined Gov. Tony Evers on Wednesday, on part of the new Amtrak Borealis line at Milwaukee Intermodal Station. Republicans called the Wisconsin trip a VP audition.
Buttigieg started his day at Port Milwaukee. He highlighted some federal funding from the bipartisan infrastructure law, a $9.3 million grant announced last year.
The money is helping the DeLong Company expand its export facility, building more storage and equipment to handle more grain.
