A Look at Biden's Cabinet Picks

VOA News

   U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has begun naming members of his new
   Cabinet, as well as other top-level administration officials. Biden has
   pledged to choose a Cabinet that reflects the diversity of the American
   population. His selections will be scrutinized by the progressive wing
   of the Democratic Party and must win confirmation in a narrowly
   controlled Senate, whose majority party will be determined by two
   Georgia Senate runoffs in January. Here are Biden's selections so far.

   Antony Blinken

   Secretary of State

   Blinken was deputy secretary of state during the Obama administration
   and has close ties with Biden. A graduate of Harvard University and
   Columbia Law School, Blinken, 58, has long served in foreign policy
   positions during Democratic administrations, including as a member of
   the National Security Council during the Clinton administration and
   deputy national security adviser during the Obama administration. He
   was also staff director for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when
   Biden was chair of the panel, and later was then-Vice President Biden's
   national security adviser.
