No one relayed to Benghazi or the past- no to Hilary Clinton no to Susan Rice!!!!

Sally states would be awesome as AG but I doubt she would make it past the Senate. Prefer Bahara is a good choice. Leave Director Wray— it’s supposed to be a bipartisan role,

What about Flake?

Mayor Pete is awesome but he needs to build his resume to be competitive in the future.

I think it will be Yates--we know Biden likes her. I do think it will be a woman.

I think she’s a great choice but if Mitch has the senate after the January runoff in Georgia no way is Yates getting confirmed. I’ve seen Susan rice floated as state and same thing- Benghazi toxicity makes her a no go in a Republican held senate.

Pete Buttigieg for comms or UN ambassador. He’s excel in either

Warren in Budget or Treasury

As a teacher I am most interested in sec of education. Anyone will be an improvement over Devos of course but I’ve seen Lily Garcia and Randi Weingarten floated and I’m not thrilled about either

Have seen Doug Jones flagged for AG and I think that would be a good choice

Why not try to get an Obama to be Secretary of State? If not Barack, then Michelle. Both have traveled the world and built many great relationships.

Michelle Flountroy (sp?) should be well positioned to run the Pentagon although Susan Rice could end up there.

A big donor should get Treasury.

The AG could be Preet Bharara.

Mayor Pete could end up at the VA and then get another shot somewhere else later in the first term. Biden may move him around a bit to give some more substantial experience in government.

It also will be important to find key and visible jobs for Latinos.

Do you pay any attention to politics or do you just follow a bunch of blue-check liberals on twitter? First, Cedric Richmond should not be Chief of Staff. He is looking to be in house leadership. Giving him CoS would not be beneficial to Clyburn in anyway. It is going to be someone who has worked for/with Biden for years, likely Ron Klain.

President Obama and Michelle Obama are great figures, with relationships along the globe. But they are retired, there is no way either would be Secretary of State. It will likely be Chris Coons or Tony Blinken. I prefer Chris Murphy though (for his views on Yemen).

Michele Flournoy is likely the pick for defense. Susan Rice is hated by the right and would not get confirmed by a republican senate

A DONOR SHOULD NOT GET TREASURY. We need someone with experience as economist and who will look out for the everyday Americans when rebuilding our broken economy.

AG will probably be Doug Jones, but Preet is a good call.

Buttigieg will be UN Ambassador or USTR. He is a rising star, giving him a "boring" position will stymie him. (Look at Julian Castro)

Richmond is absolutely in the running for Chief of Staff. There will plenty of other staff positions for Klain, starting with being the COVID czar.

Biden should not be afraid to think big with Secretary of State. He is going to be 78 and needs to have experienced people around him. There is no one better than an Obama to help rebuild global relationships. Both are still relatively young and not retired at all. Coons is still needed as a Biden ally in the Senate and Murphy can wait.

Mayor Pete has a brilliant mind. He will not be bored with any cabinet position, and he needs experience. He should have at least two cabinet roles in the first term.

What has Doug Jones done to deserve a cabinet spot? Do we really need another former senator from Alabama in that role?

You are telling me that all the reporting on Ron Klain as Chief of Staff is wrong and that a congressman with hopes of house leadership is going to drop that for White House Chief of Staff?
Mayor Pete is brilliant, which is why he shouldn’t be Veterans Affairs. UN Ambassador is a perfect role for him.
Doug Jones has DOJ experience and fought relentlessly for the people of Alabama in an incredibly uphill battle. He is the opposite of a Jeff Sessions and the fact that you are comparing them shows that you know very little about politics. Go back to twitter.

Yes, Ron Klain is probably the #1 choice for CoS. He was CoS to both Gore and Biden when they were VPOTUS and he was a senior advisor on the Biden presidential campaign. He has been with Biden forever and is whip-smart when it comes to the politics. Basically, if he wants the CoS staff position (and why wouldn't he?), it's his.

Actually, I think an amazingly brilliant idea is that Biden should find a cabinet position for Senator Kennedy from LA. Kennedy is a moderate Republican. Until 2007, he was a Democrat and then flipped. He has no love lost for Donald Trump and has periodically strayed across the aisle to join the Democrats including helping to block three of Trump's judicial nominees. He's a very astute and well educated lawyer, so maybe AG? Louisiana has a Democratic governor, so offering a cabinet position to Kennedy allows Biden to come off as reaching across the aisle, plus with a Democratic governor, the replacement Senator would likely be a Democrat. Additionally, Kennedy is up for reelection in 2022 and is likely to face a hard reelection campaign. He's only moderately popular in Louisiana (46% approval rating). He might be happy to have a resting place for four years instead of looking at a hard reelection in 2 years. Could be a valuable win-win for Kennedy.

This is a good call. She has experience on the small business committee and will keep her status as a rising star. Would be a great resume stamp for a future governor or senate run!

Definitely a good call. And Kendra Horn can be the US Attorney for Oklahoma.

Bob Gates is a no, he can’t help but bash Obama everytime they put a mic in front of him.

And he’s OLD. Secretary of State takes almost as much or more work and travel than the presidency.

Possibly. I didnt know if that where those items fall but sure! If he could get these enclaves of oil/coal areas to bring in other jobs, work with Dept of Ag for better farming practices and disruption of Ag conglomerates, and then rural areas to get better Internet access to bring in telework jobs- it could swing some voters to Democrats.

It's too much on top of FL responsibilities. Not at all the same thing as teaching one adjunct college course. But she'll have a say in the pick for sure.
