President-elect Joe Biden offered Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms a position in his Cabinet, but she did not accept it, according to a statement from Rashad Taylor, Bottoms’ senior adviser.

“Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was honored to have been offered a role in the Cabinet, which she respectfully declined,” Taylor said in a statement to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Taylor declined to say what position was offered.

[...]

“She was never offered an Ambassadorship,” Taylor said in his statement.

Several prominent Georgia Democrats have reported that Bottoms was in the running to lead the Small Business Administration, a Cabinet level post.

Another day, another Mayor Pete rumor.

No one is ever going to convince me that Mayor Pete is ready for a Cabinet position right now. Biden should make him Special Representative on something or other and then elevate him from there.

The only person who needs to be convinced is Joe Biden, and he isn't asking you for your opinion.

Clearly, he isn't asking for many peoples opinions, because some of these picks have not been very strategic.

Interesting reporting from WaPo on the progressive left being upset with Biden’s cabinet picks.

He’s a moderate. What’d these people expect?

For the 50th time in this thread, his state is governed by a Republican. We can’t lose any senators.

I agree, but Pete would not be a bad pick for Transportation Secretary.

Based on personal experience in local government working on transportation issues, it typically takes more of a mayor's time than most other type of elected officials. Also, many transportation secretaries don't have much experience in transportation anyway. It would be nice if Transportation Secretary went to people who worked in it their whole careers, but most Presidents don't do that and it doesn't look like Biden will do it either.
