If confirmed by the Senate, Yellen, 74, will be the first woman to hold the top job.

Yellen is seen as a consensus candidate, who is viewed as palatable within the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and is not expected to face strong opposition from Republicans in a Senate confirmation process.

At least one Republican economist has already praised the choice of Yellen. President Donald Trump's former National Economic Council director Gary Cohn extended his congratulations on Twitter. "Janet Yellen is an excellent choice for Treasury Secretary. Having had the opportunity to work with then-Chair Yellen, I have no doubt she will be the steady hand we need to promote an economy that works for everyone, especially during these difficult times," Cohn wrote.

Yellen served as the chair of the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018 and was replaced after one term on the job by Trump, who installed current chair Jerome Powell in her place.

I understand Bidens picks have experience and hopefully wise.. younger candidates have newer and fresh ways of doing, old cronies aren't always the best choice.

Clearly there are better options?!

She did a great job as head of the Federal reserve , the reason she was fired was because she was an Obama appointee . Trump appointed Powell and then turned on him .

Yellen's idea to give everyone $2000 a month is a terrible idea. There's was almost a 100 million working age people who did nothing every day before the pandemic. That's the same reason democratic Socialism won't work.

Biden supported the UK in 1982 against Argentina. His foreign policy now is less clear, but ‘82 was not the first time the USA was involved in a Falklands dispute. Lexington Raid 1831 anyone? Or 👇 p.101
