  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Buttigieg, 38, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who has never held federal office

  • If confirmed he would become first openly gay cabinet secretary confirmed by the senate

  • Trump appointed Richard Grenell as acting director of national intelligence making him first openly gay cabinet member but did not nominate him
Got that box checked...
