Lael Brainard, Tammy Duckworth, John Kerry, Chris Coons, Ron Klain, and Susan Rice are all short-listers. Photo: Getty Images/Shutterstock For a few months now, senators, ex-lawmakers, donors, operatives, local leaders, investors, and activists have quietly been nudging a small group of Democratic officials in D.C. and Delaware.

Biden has nearly half-a-century worth of friends in Washington, but people close to him say that, rather than installing them in the government’s most powerful positions, he could push those senator buddies to the kinds of comfy ambassador gigs usually reserved for top donors, and instead make good on his repeated campaign-trail promise to serve as a “bridge” to a younger generation of pols and bureaucrats.

• Former deputy secretary of State and Deputy National Security Advisor Tony Blinken. A longtime Biden adviser, Blinken would perhaps be likelier to be the new president’s National Security Advisor, but choosing him for State would elevate a veteran of the Obama administration’s efforts to negotiate over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its ISIS fight.

• Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic. Bostic would be the first Black person and the first openly gay person to lead the department. He’s not as well known as Brainard, but he caught many eyes in Washington and Wilmington this summer by writing an essay about how the Federal Reserve “can play an important role in helping to reduce racial inequities and bring about a more inclusive economy.”• Former under secretary of Defense Michele Flournoy.

• Former secretary of State and Massachusetts senator John Kerry. It’s easy to imagine how, under Kerry, this role could be a diplomatic one in a reprise of his time at Foggy Bottom, especially considering the amount of rebuilding of international trust a Biden administration would have to do on climate matters.
