L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti Gushes: Pete Buttigieg ‘Saved Christmas’Joel B. Pollak 11 Jan 2022
LOS ANGELES, California — Outgoing Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti was effusive in his praise for Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday, saying he “saved Christmas” — though supply chain problems continue.
Buttigieg, who was absent for two crucial months last summer during unannounced paternity leave, showed up at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports for a press conference whose unusually lengthy list of speakers surprised local reporters.

Buttigieg also said that the crisis was a sign of economic progress under President Joe Biden.
By December, inventories at many retail outlets had recovered, and Buttigieg claimed the administration deserved credit — though the administration has sought to deflect blame for higher prices. Mayor Garcetti, who is leaving L.A. to take up an appointment as U.S. Ambassador to India, echoed Biden’s claims, saying that Buttigieg had “saved Christmas.”
