President-elect Joe Biden is expected to soon start announcing his cabinet choices and he's promised to have a diverse cabinet "that looks like America." Biden has held off on discussing potential cabinet picks, saying those decisions would wait until after the election. Speculation during the final weeks of the campaign included former Obama administration officials, former rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, and even Republicans.
The prospect of Republicans in the Biden cabinet is not sitting well with the progressive wing of the party. The leader of the Progressive Turnout Project has said activists want advocates for issues including health care, climate, and justice.
