Way back in last September, I offered some thoughts on why Biden should name his cabinet before the election. At the time, my reasons and suggestions for nominees were influenced by how it could then unite the various Democratic candidates if he included them in the package. Well, that ship has sailed. Now, there is … Continue reading What’s in the Cabinet? →
