Biden Cabinet Update

On Monday, it was reported that “President-elect Joe Biden will nominate retired four-star Army general Lloyd J. Austin to be secretary of defense.” (AP News)

Also on Monday, it was announced that “Biden has picked California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to be his health secretary.” (AP News)

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that “Biden has chosen Neera Tanden, head of the Center for American Progress, a center-left think tank, to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget.” (Wall Street Journal)

The right is generally critical of Biden’s choices.

The left is generally supportive of Becerra but skeptical of Austin and Tanden.
