How debate prep with Tim Walz made Pete Buttigieg ‘an even bigger fan’

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was interviewed by The Bulwark’s Tim Miller on Thursday about his experience prepping Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for the upcoming vice presidential debate against Ohio Sen. JD Vance. 

Miller asked Buttigieg what he thought about the Democratic vice presidential nominee, and what he learned about Walz now that he’s spent some time with him. 

"I'm surprised by the Diet Mountain Dew,” Buttigieg joked. “I didn't know that both running mates have that in common. A lot of Diet Mountain Dew going around."
