Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg compared Donald Trumpā€™s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, with Trumpā€™s former vice president, Mike Pence, during his speech Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

After criticizing Trump, Buttigieg pivoted his attention to the former presidentā€™s running mate.

ā€œAnd donā€™t even get me started on [Trumpā€™s] new running mate. At least Mike Pence was polite. JD Vance is one of those guys who thinks if you donā€™t live the life that he has in mind for you, then you donā€™t count,ā€ Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, said asĀ he made comparisonsĀ between the two.Ā ā€œSomeone who said that if you donā€™t have kids, you have ā€™no physical commitment to the future of this country.ā€
