Joe Biden Vets Republicans for Cabinet Positions, Won't Disclose Names of Major Fundraisers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joe Biden's transition team is vetting several prominent Republicans for
Cabinet positions. Politico reports the candidates include former Ohio
Governor John Kasich, corporate executive Meg Whitman, Massachusetts
Governor Charlie Baker, former Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, and former
Pennsylvania Congressmember Charlie Dent, who's been working as a
healthcare industry lobbyist since resigning from Congress in 2018.

This comes as The New York Times reports the Biden campaign has raised
almost $200 million from donors who gave at least $100,000. The campaign
is also refusing to reveal the names of so-called bundlers who organize
and collect checks from other major donors.
