1. I would love to see

the Democrats take the Senate and name Senator Warren as Majority Leader!

[FM123]

5. Yes!

[Ohiogal]

2. Sec. of Education

LeBron James!

I also would like to see Tim Ryan as Sec. of Labor

Kamala Harris is a shoo in for AG

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Good choices!

I was really watching to see where you placed Pete Buttigieg. SecDef would be great and a real feather in his cap.

I am not sure how good being Chief of Staff would be, but that may be because I'm not sure what that role entails.

I do want him in a position that will give him plenty of "experience" since so many thought he was lacking there. He's very bright and will come up to speed quickly, wherever he's placed.

[BGBD]

4. been wanting to do this too

I'll think more and jump in here later with my own.

[NewJeffCT]

6. Thanks

No science to it on my part - just moved a couple of "Deputy" secretaries from Obama's 2nd term into lead roles and played a few hunches on others.

[BGBD]

23. just for fun

I like this kid of stuff

[panader0]

7. I wouldn't be surprised to see Pelosi hand the gavel to Adam Schiff.

She's done a heroic job, she's earned a forever place in history.
She's also earned a rest.

[NewJeffCT]

9. Schiff and Katie Porter

are maybe two of the smartest people in Congress. Porter might be great as a Labor Secretary as well. However, I think Schiff might be great at Homeland Security or as Director of National Intelligence.

From what I've heard, Hakeem Jeffries may be next in line for Speaker.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. Don't really know her plans...........

but, MY GAWD, she's done 20 years worth of work in the past 2 years - and with help from her Democratic House members, SAVED our country up to this point. I cringe to think where we would be or what would have happened without her leadership.

[NewJeffCT]

12. I think part of the deal with the moderate Dems

to get their votes for her as Speaker was to promise to serve only 2 more terms as Speaker.

[panader0]

8. Is Preet Bharara a possibility? SCOTUS?

[NewJeffCT]

10. He'd be an excellent SCOTUS choice

as well - 51 years old now, so is a perfect age to step in to replace Breyer and be on the Court for 30+ years.

[djg21]

17. I'd like to see him as AG.

And there is Cuomo. I’ve heard rumors a while back that he could be Biden’s Chief of Staff, but i don’t see him giving up his position as NY’s Governor-for-Life to become Chief of Staff. More recently, I’ve heard rumors about him possibly becoming Secretary of Homeland Security. I think he probably would want Secretary of State so he can burnish his foreign diplomacy skills to set him up to run for President in 2024 or 2028.

13. You lost me at the beginning...

Klobuchar would be his first mistake
She is more middle of the road than he is
She thinks med for all is a fantasy

[2naSalit]

15. Hmmm, I don't know about a Congressperson's spouse in the Cabinet.

Any appearance of impropriety is not a good thing.


VP: Susan Rice
AG: Kamala Harris or Adam Schiff or Glen Kirschner
Sec of State: Samantha Power or Barack Obama
Sec of Defense: Pete Buttigieg
Sec of Treasury: Elizabeth Warren
Sec of Labor: Stacey Abrams
Sec of Energy: Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall (Deputy Sec. Energy under Obama)
Sec of Interior: Raul Grihalva or ?
National Security Advisor: Jeremy Bash
Chief of Staff: Buttigieg if he's not SecDef or Stacy Abrams


SCOTUS Nominees:Maya Wiley; Neal Katyal; Joyce Alene Vance; Sally Yates

And others who were in the Obama Admin. who would return to the offices they held then.

16. I like all your picks..for me, I want to be sure we do not lose a Senate Majority ..

Senate Majority Pac is reaching into the states (I am in AZ) where con senators are vulnerable..received mail yesterday..2020 races to watch..

Maine..Collins, Cornyn Texass, Colorado Gardner, Georgia - after watching GA rig the election against Stacy Abrams, need to put on a full-court press..and with the dive Loeffler has taken, means both GA seats up for grabs, and Kentucky..ditch Mitch effort..

They go on to say Graham, McSally AZ all in for Mark Kelly, Tillis, and Perdue are on the Expand the map list..

This will be up to each of us in our states to flip the Senate with a majority high enough in order to have Klobachar, or Harris, Sanders, Warren -

Each Democratic candidate MUST bring along their supporter..Biden and Sanders speaking together is a great start...

In the letter, Senate Majority Pac, included a decal BLUE/Red "Flip the Senate"..too bad I can't display it..too many nuts around..

[Brother Buzz]

18. All good picks, but who would you tap for Press Secretary?

It would be fun to think outside the box and pick someone who's totally competent, yet has never traveled in the political circles.

[Firebrand Gary]

19. Picks.

VP: Susan Rice
AG: Kamala Harris
Sec of State: Pete Buttigieg
Sec of Defense: William McRaven or James G. Stavridis?
Sec of Treasury: ?
Sec of Labor: Bernie Sanders
Sec of Energy: Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall?
Sec of Interior: Beto O'Rourke?

[NewJeffCT]

22. good idea with McRaven

good list

I like Buttigieg at state as well - speaks a zillion languages and I like the image of a gay man as the top US diplomat with so many homophobic anti-gay regimes around the world

[procon]

20. I'd be cautious about adding people from the past.

Too much baggage for some, too many dislikes or distrust for others. The also-rans may have their own agenda that would come into conflict with Biden.

Katie Porter would be my pick for AG. She decapitates her opponents so cleanly they never knew what hit them. Kamala Harris is a bit of a cage fighter (remember her pitbull attack on Biden) but she'd be an big asset in restoring the status of the State Dept.

[NewJeffCT]

24. It's possible

but, i think may would be on good terms with Biden.

[Disaffected]

21. What about

Robert Reich?
