In the "107 Days" excerpt, Harris said Buttigieg initially led the eight names on her vetting list for running mates because "he is a sincere public servant with the rare talent of being able to frame liberal arguments in a way that makes it possible for conservatives to hear them," according to The Atlantic.
"I love Pete," she reportedly wrote. "I love working with Pete. He and his husband, Chasten, are friends."
