Biden reportedly nominated daughter of political ally Clyburn to post
He promised he wouldn’t give his family jobs in his administration — but President Biden never said anything about his friends’ families.
President Biden nominated the daughter of Rep. Jim Clyburn to a federal commission, adding to his string of hiring family members of administration officials or political allies, according to a report on Thursday.
The president nominated Jennifer Clyburn Reed as the chair of the Southeast Crescent Regional Commission that was created in 2008 to “address economic distress” in the southeast US but has remained inactive since, Fox News reported.
