I'm glad he picked her because bunch of white liberals were expecting Mayor Pete to be the nominee.

You need to stop, you just sound demented and disconnected and sad. I get how normalization works. I Know that in the majority of cases, it beats even the most stubborn. But not me. You cant break me. I'll persist until you stop trying to brainwash folks. You don't own reality.

I like the tactic a lot. Biden is picking smart, diverse people that will force the Senate to confirm or go against strong women, POC, and diversity. It puts the GOP in a gambit.

I don't know if I can get used to a president picking qualified people for jobs again.

Je crois que vous allez nous defendre( israel )comme nikki

Bummer. Trump had Kid Rock lined up for that gig

Where we continued to see black wealth plummet

It worries me that Biden hasn't picked a single family member or oil company executive for his cabinet. Doesn't he want to help the nation heal by hiring wildly unqualified people so Republicans will want to work with him?

Great to see grown adults in these positions!

Way to go, Joe!

Wonderful news- more women in Leadership positions!

GOP Please Note that Experienced Professionals are available for all these Cabinet Level Positions. Which begs the question as to why they went along with Trump's Unqualified Toadies and Relatives for the last 4 Years?!!!

Meeting the race quota with every position. Lol. So fake.
