Would love to see Stacey Abrams with something, but not sure what she's qualified for/would want. Amy K and Tammy Duckworth could probably also have something if they want, but they're better off staying put in the Senate. Would love for Amy K to replace Schumer in the leadership. Whitmer could have a post, but makes sense for her to stay put as well.

Mayor Pete for Transportation Sec or UN Ambassador--know he doesn't have traditional credentials for the latter but he's a sharp cookie and, with the right staff, would do well imo. I think Biden would be eager to mentor him.

Lael Braenard or Raphael Bostic for Sec Treasury

Tom Blinken NSA

Eric Garcetti for Labor

Karen Bass for HUD

Sally Yates for AG

Lujan Grisham for HHS (read she's angling for it)

Chris Murphy or William Burns for State

Jay Inslee for Interior

Alejandro Mayorkas for Homeland Security

Whomever Dr. Jill likes for Sec Ed, should be BIPOC

Vilsack for Sec Ag, if he's not too long in the tooth.

Susan Rice needs a non-confirmation slot--she wouldn't make it through the Senate. A caveat for any of these names, if Biden thinks they'd be too hard to get through

I think Biden should just assemble his team and tell the senate if they want to have a "no" vote on any of them, they should have at it.

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.

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.

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.
