Who might make up Harris’ Cabinet
Politico ^ | October 19, 2024 | Politico Staff

Posted on 10/26/2024 2:58:31 PM PDT by KingofZion

If Kamala Harris wins the election, she will likely approach the task of filling out her Cabinet and West Wing much like she did when she took over Joe Biden's campaign operation this summer.

While she’ll ensure her closest advisers and key Cabinet members are people she personally trusts, there will be some continuity with the current administration, according to five people familiar with ongoing conversations granted anonymity to speak candidly about the transition process. And regardless of whether Democrats keep their narrow hold of the Senate or Republicans take control, Harris will have to game out how much of Biden’s Cabinet she can hold over.

Harris has tasked Yohannes Abraham, who led the Biden-Harris transition four years ago, with guiding hers. But unlike the president, who brought a small cadre of aides into the West Wing who’d been part of his inner circle for decades, Harris doesn’t have a long career in Washington. In filling out her vice presidential office and revamping Biden’s campaign, she has leaned on a small group of trusted aides for advice as well as top operatives from across the party, many of them veterans of Barack Obama’s campaign network. And after four years as vice president, dozens of former Harris staffers are scattered around Washington, enmeshed at other executive branch agencies and on Capitol Hill.

As with most modern Democratic transitions, Harris and her team will seek to send a message with her choices by ensuring that a future Cabinet demonstrates her commitment to diversity — racially, geographically and politically. She’s promised that one difference between her and Biden would be that she’d appoint at least one Republican to her Cabinet.

This is POLITICO’s snapshot of the leading contenders for Harris’ top jobs.

Can everyone just clam down a second and listen to this answer?—

The View and MSNBC hosts will all become cabinet members.

Hillary on the Supreme Court along with AOC.

Harris is not going to win.

WaPo refused to endorse her. Same deal with LA Times.

SNL is making fun of her.

RE: Elmer Fudd.

VP Walz already got that nickname when he tried to somehow load his shotgun to show he is a he-man.

Gun range instructor on TV said they call the awkward newbies “Fudds” already.

In Kamala’s cabinet:

Biden coffee cup, an Obama plate, a Walz soup bowl and Hunter’s spoon.

HYOu are right. A DEI cabinet.

We will not have our country anymore. We sure won’t have a Republic. We will become the United Socialist States of Zimbabwe.

We will be invaded by an axis of China, Iran,Russia, and North Korea, using Venezuela as a launch point. Our military under Kamala will be too weak and demoralized with transgenders to defend the Nation.

Just skimming that article makes my skin crawl. It also makes me want to buy gold and prepper stuff.

Well, Eeyore, I'll tell you what's in Karamela's cabinet at Observatory Circle -- a half-bottle of vodka and a bottle of rye, and two boxes of Hefty trash bags, which is all that is left from a dozen boxes she bought last week. The garbage bags from the other 10 boxes are right now full of shredded documents.

Does that answer your question, n00b?
