President-elect Joe Biden is 'considering appointing Mayor Pete Buttigieg to be China ambassador'
Sources told Axios Buttigieg's name is in the ring for the role
Buttigieg, 38, had been among the top contenders for the role of ambassador to the United Nations and this had been his first choice, sources said
But Biden picked veteran of the foreign service Linda Thomas-Greenfield
Buttigieg is also being considered for some domestic leadership positions including Transportation or Commerce, sources said
A role in Beijing could help set Buttigieg up for another run at the White House
The former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, became one of Biden's top advocates during his presidential campaign against Donald Trump
Biden has been unveiling his Cabinet picks in recent weeks, most recently announcing his health and COVID-19 response team Tuesday
