"You're going to see the first Cabinet picks this Tuesday. But
if you want to know what Cabinet agencies they are, who's going
to be in those Cabinet agencies, you'll have to wait for the
president-elect to say that himself on Tuesday," Klain said in
an interview with ABC's "This Week."
The incoming president, a Democrat, has promised to build an
administration that reflects the diversity of the country. He
said last week he had already chosen his Treasury secretary.
"We’ve made that decision,” Biden told a news conference. "And
you’ll find it is someone who I think will be accepted by all
elements of the Democratic Party ... progressive to the moderate
coalitions."
Candidates on Biden’s shortlist include former Fed Chair Janet
Yellen, current Fed Governor Lael Brainard, Sarah Bloom Raskin,
a former Fed governor, and Raphael Bostic, president of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
