Biden suggested this afternoon that his picks for defense secretary and attorney general are coming this week. Clyburn said he didn’t know who Biden was considering for AG before eventually mentioning Doug Jones. He wasn’t asked about defense. — PolitiTweet.org

Clyburn says on CNN this of Biden’s cabinet: “I think we’ll see several other people of color announced this week and next.” He declined to specify names or jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden tells reporters in Delaware he will announce his defense secretary pick on Friday, per @josh_wingrove. He also said his attorney general selection is coming this week. — PolitiTweet.org

NAACP President Derrick Johnson, who's meeting with Biden and Harris tomorrow, told me the selection of Tom Vilsack for ag sec “would be questionable to say the least and highly concerning," citing Shirley Sherrod case and treatment of Black farmers. https://t.co/44vqueIssE — PolitiTweet.org

Biden and Harris will introduce the first seven members of their health team tomorrow afternoon at an event in Delaware, transition says. Those picks, again, are: https://t.co/KKmq9DGKbt — PolitiTweet.org

Biden picked Becerra because he fought for ACA’s passage and to defend it as California AG, but he’s also worked across party lines on health issues like leading a coalition of AGs with Louisiana’s urging federal aid in access to Remdesivir. https://t.co/DwqnamibtH — PolitiTweet.org

Biden has a great deal of respect for Gov. Lujan Grisham and considered her for a series of jobs but she ultimately decided it was best to stay in her role as NM amid covid spike there and with DGA chair on the horizon in 2021, person familiar says. https://t.co/DwqnamibtH — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden transition and Michelle Lujan Grisham herself now say she will not be joining the admin. H/t @jmartnyt https://t.co/bBuButw8p7 — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s very exciting for us to see a Hispanic chosen for such an important position at such a critically important time,” @JMurguia_Unidos told me tonight. CHC kept pushing Lujan Grisham even after the Biden team made clear they didn’t want her for HHS. https://t.co/DwqnamibtH — PolitiTweet.org

Becerra would be the first Latino to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Comes at a time when people of color are disproportionately hit by covid and after Trump admin’s HHS was caring for Central American kids who it separated from parents. https://t.co/DwqnamibtH — PolitiTweet.org

NAACP and other civil rights groups are upset Rahm Emanuel is even being floated for roles in the Biden admin, given his handling of the Laquan McDonald case. They want the transition to say Biden isn’t considering him. Transition declined to comment. https://t.co/eMYSVW69ak — PolitiTweet.org

“I don’t envy them,” Janet Murguia of @WeAreUnidosUS said. “This is a very challenging time in terms of meeting the commitments that have to be met ... the bar is very high in terms of making everybody happy.” https://t.co/eMYSVW69ak — PolitiTweet.org

The CHC used a Thurs mtg w top Biden aides pushing Michelle Lujan Grisham for HHS secretary and complaining about leaks that she’d said she wasn’t interested in being interior sec. “This was to kind of throw her under the bus,” Rep. Raul Grijalva said. https://t.co/eMYSVW69ak — PolitiTweet.org

Biden is building a diverse team with historic firsts, but some allies are concerned his core team — top 4 cabinet posts & key WH jobs — includes few people of color. A look at the tensions with groups that Biden says are doing their “job” by pushing him: https://t.co/eMYSVW69ak — PolitiTweet.org

Biden on vaccines: "There's a lot more that has to be done...there is no detailed plan that we've seen anyway as to how you get the vaccine out of a container, into an injection syringe, into somebody's arm and it's going to be very difficult to get that done" & very expensive. — PolitiTweet.org

@jrpsaki @KBeds Asked by @mmcassella & then me if Biden would be choosing people of color for defense secretary or attorney general, the only 2 very key jobs not filled yet – as various groups and allies worry that Biden's inner circle won't be sufficiently diverse – Biden's aides wouldn't say. — PolitiTweet.org
Jennifer Epstein @jeneps
@jrpsaki As Biden faces pressure on diversity of his key advisers, transition notes just 8 of 23 Cabinet-level posts are filled. Biden "certainly understands and hears and welcomes voices that are pushing him on diversity," @kbeds says. "That is how we make progress in this country." — PolitiTweet.org
