billion in new infrastructure cash also offers Republicans their best opening yet to hobble his political future.
also mean Buttigieg will face aggressive oversight for how the Department of Transportation spends the funds, and any hint of waste or abuse — even outside his direct control — could endanger his prospects in a potential presidential run.but also a so-far-elusive $1.75 trillion package of social spending, will be watching closely for flaws to highlight to voters.
DOT had no comment about how Buttigieg might handle the challenge. But he nodded to it in a recent appearance on Meet the Press, saying he takes "very seriously the responsibilities that we have for everything that flows" through DOT, including all the new funding he will have to shepherd. "And can I tell you that everyone in my organization feels the same way.

Peter Buttigieg is not a real man
Republicans worried about fraud,waste and abuse is a bit rich after supporting the Trump administration. The Republican former DOT staff even said this money would have definitely being wasted and used for political stunts under the Trump admin.
He has no political future.
Well not only the GOP, but the public and the Biden government should closely watch how money was spent. It’s the right thing to do.
Republicans pre-pounce.
Seriously, Politico? Your bias is showing again!
He has no future the people don’t want him he’s only got dnc and cia supporting him
What the media is always good at is taking a good thing and turning it into shit. Pete's a very good man, and passing the infrastructure bill will be a boon for this country. That's it people -- it's called good news.
🤣🤣🤣 Child, Please, y’all couldn’t stop him before.
Nothing should go to the states that the gop who didn't vote for it
I’m not sure the article really helps anything or states anything new. If Republicans didn’t vote for the bill, they don’t get credit for the positive impact it will have. Full stop. If they want to be polarizing, so be it. We’re moving forward, regardless.
Ya that or taking two months off while our transportation system is completely gridlocked and dysfunctional.
I’m thinking Pete should withhold ALL infrastructure money from red states that didn’t vote for the bill. I bet that will ‘hobble’ all of those Republican politicians’ futures when their constituents realize what they did. GQPTraitorsToDemocracy
Democrats don’t do things but now that they’re going to do things it might be politically dangerous to do things
Imagine if politico didnt write attack strategy for the GQP
Oh, they'll attack him for everything anyway, because they fear him.
Screw the red states and their rebellious people . No money to the die hard vaccine deniers . The republicans would for sure . Remember the covid supplies roll out from the trump administration. RED STATES got it first and all they wanted why blue states had to beg . Pay back now
I know I ask this a lot, but what is wrong with you?
Always the horse race never the substance
Your headline is hobbled.... 🙄
DougJBalloon A gem for you.
Wow . You got Pete in this administration and Beto in Texas stinking up the place!
Let me make this easy so you don’t need to waste 3 min of your time….”Republicans will be their usual douche-y, hypocritical selves regarding this infrastructure bill”
POLITIGOP is

Wait, ppl can use your record in office *against* you?
I know. I hate that guy that comes around and fixes things, gives you money and jobs.
Hmm. Weird. Seems the story should be why are republicans so insistent on destroying everything to “own the libs?” Republicans are against condemning violence, voting, roads and bridges, healthcare, etc. There’s your story.
is this satire? did the New York Times bot write this?
You assume he isn’t going to be successful. Any GOP governor worth their salt will be lining up for. $$$. And they can make processes that ensure that it is run smoothly. The GOP needs to realize he is not Elaine Chow
Oh, now you're a Republican consultant, providing ideas for them to win the next election? Wtf is going on with journalists?
what a joke of an article. you get an Trump aide to comment is the basis of this? the Transportation industry has been decimated over the past 3 decades. Pete could throw darts at a map and give money that way, it will all be useful, shit is so ridiculous atm. you don't know shit
Only if you carry water for them, printing nonsense instead of covering government actually doing things for it's citizens
Oh, sick.
Politico always looking for ways to exalt Republicans -- and blame Democrats, who just passed a hugely popular infrastructure bill that Republicans could not. Did DeSantis really win the pandemic And do you get such an accolade if you kill the highest number of your citizens?
I would say bring it on. Because the Infrastructure is good bill and will help many including those GOP’s constituents that tried to vote it down.
wow, politics stuff might happen?!
What a horrible tweet. Say something constructive for once.
JFC
He is smarter than all of the people in the republican party
Oh? You mean the wildly popular infrastructure money that will be helping communities across the country?
This is the absolute dumbest possible angle on this story. Congrats.
One of the GOP's great talents is to recognize Democratic electoral talent and try to bludgeon their prospects in the crib AmyAThatcher smc429 BradyMcCollough RiskAlert RiskAlert chipfranklin charlesornstein hill_charlotte funder donwinslow
