Vice President-elect Kamala Harris announced an all-female slate of key senior staff including Tina Flournoy as chief of staff, in addition to naming her domestic policy adviser and national security adviser.
Together with the rest of my team, todays appointees will work to get this virus under control, open our economy responsibly and make sure it lifts up all Americans, and restore and advance our countrys leadership around the world, Harris said in a statement.
