Biden has said he wants this to be the most diverse cabinet in American history (which is actually a low bar, but still nice). The issue will be Senate Confirmation, someone like Schiff or Rice may get shotdown in a Mitch McConnell Senate. Gonna be interesting especially if the Dems cant get 50 Senators.
Yates, Jones or Schiff for AG are all good choices.
Rice for Secretary of State seems like the top choice, but can she get confirmed? Chris Coons also wants Sect of State.
Buttigieg apparently wants Ambassador to UN, but Biden seems to be pushing Secretary of VA. Press Secretary and CoS don't get Mayor Pete to the next level. Todd Young is up for re-election in 2022 and Mayor Pete may run for that office in either case.
Garcetti seems to be the only name for infrastructure, who is a highway guy, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is instead someone with a rail background, given Biden's connections to Amtrak.
Michele Flournoy seems to be a lock for Defense
I can't see Warren getting the votes for Treasury, look for Lael Brainard instead
It would be interesting to see if Moniz wants the Energy job again. My old roommate in DC worked under him, and spoke very highly.
HUD might be where Keisha Lance-Bottoms comes in. But if Karen Bass is passed over for the Senate seat, I could see her here as well.
McCabe seems to be out of the running for FBI
Haspel is probably gone as well, I would look for someone from DIA or promotion from within.
