If Biden loses, the world ends.

But if he wins, he's gonna need a cabinet. We'd better get started!

Ambassador to the U.N.: Pete Buttigeg.
Interior Secretary: Steve Bullock
Attorney General: Stacey Abrams
Energy Secretary: Beto O'Rourke
Secretary of State: Susan Rice

Commerce, Education, Defense, Treasury, Agriculture, National Security, Labor, Homeland Security, Transportation, EPA, Veterans Affairs, HHS, HUD

I'm sorry, ElizabethW, you need to stay in the Senate.

And AmyK, you don't want one of these cabinet jobs. Senate is way more important.

National Security Advisor: Alex Vindman

I’d be happy to have Mattis back as Secretary of Defense.

How about Attorney General Merrick Garland?

Merrick Garland might be wearing one of the four new shiny sets of robes...

I might prefer Buttigieg at HUD or HHS.

He'd probably prefer HUD. He needs to get better known/liked with the minority communities.


I think Lael Brainard will get Treasury.



Having said that, I'm worried about counting these chickens....

I think Buttigieg should be in a new position - ambassador to the alternate reality of America. Spend every day appearing on Faux and radio to bring his calm, quiet questions and answers to combat the propaganda machines.

I think Sally Yates is the right choice for Attorney General. I'd put Stacy Abrams in HUD or Labor. Susan Rice for Secretary of State. Buttigieg could be Chief of Staff, if he wants it, or head of OMB. Bullock is Interior, but only if he loses his Senate race. I wouldn't put Beto anywhere, I think he's a poseur who doesn't actually put in the work.

I'd beg Colin Powell to be SecDef.

If they want a Republican, Gates may still be available. He worked well with Biden before.

You're all wrong.

Put Justice, Commerce, Treasury, Labor, HHS, HUD, Education, Energy, Interior, and Agriculture all under Elizabeth Warren.

Mayor Pete needs an outward facing role. He has his own political ambitions and COS isn't going to take him there. I would also like him to succeed in his political ambitions, because I think he's great. Beto might be a good COS because he's "in the room," but has little impact.

Bullock for interior is a great idea. AG Garland would be a great slap in the face of the GOP, but better as SCOTUS if they decide to increase the size of the court.

Education: Kathy Hoffman or Pedro Rivera both intrigue me. Both would help undo DeVos' "legacy."

Energy: maybe Bill Richardson the Sequel? Or Podesta, or maybe Jay Inslee. Or maybe Al Gore Evil

SOS: Susan Rice seems obvious to me

DOD: less sure here, but it would be great to have Tammy Duckworth involved somehow.

Treasury: I'll wait for P*D and jon_nyc's endorsements Wink

Patty Murray for Ed. She was a preschool teacher before running for a US Senate seat. Jay Inslee would name a Democrat to replace her and it would give someone a few years in position before having to run again.
