Ok the rules:

• Your post can only contain one department and guess.
• You may post more than once for different departments.
• Post can contain comments about previous guesses.
• Guesses for one department can be used for other departments.
• Minds can, of course, be changed.

I will kick things off first...

Secretary of State: Susan Rice

This is as clear a choice as there can be. She has all of the credentials and rep to begin healing as relationships with our allies.

Attorney General: Doug Jones. fork you, Alabama.

 

[xpuma20x]

Janet Napolitano (Or literally anyone not named Betsy DeVos) - Secretary of Education

 

[GrandAdmiral]

Attorney General: Doug Jones. fork you, Alabama.

Considering the perfect choice is actually about to become Vice President, I can get on board with this.

I wonder if Pete will be on the team. Chief of Staff? I don’t really see a cabinet position that is appropriate. SBA is beneath his skill set. He’s a great communicator - CoS might be a good gig.

They’ve been talking Warren for Treasury but I don’t think Wall Street would take that very well.

Cool. He would be my choice for Labor.

Biden might put Warren in charge of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau like Obama originally wanted. That would make Wall Street just as mad.

I want Mr Hunter Biden to get a position, which I don’t care. Make one up if you have to.

With Kamala otherwise occupied (the absolute best choice) I’d like to see Julian Castro for Attorney General. He had some really good ideas on police and justice reform that he could drive as AG.

 

[GMRfellowtraveller]

For?

Not that t would ever happen, and certainly not with this name but “Secy of Future Planning” or some such

I mentioned Pete as CoS in another thread a few weeks ago for the same reason.

Corey Booker for HUD?

I hope they only tap senators from states with Democratic governors.

Considering my two decades' experience in higher ed administration, I nominate myself for Sec. of Education. Make it happen.
