** LOOKING AT ENDORSEMENTS FROM NOTEWORTHY INFLUENCERS OF 2020
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
This year, Ballotpedia tracked candidate endorsements from five noteworthy influencers: President-elect Joe Biden (D), former President Barack Obama (D), Vice President Mike Pence (R), President Donald Trump (R), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I). Of these five, Pence-endorsed candidates won their elections 70% of the time. On the other end, Biden-endorsed candidates won 41% of the time.
Below is a breakdown of the numbers behind the endorsements. All counts are as of Dec. 2.

** COMPARING BIDEN’S CABINET ANNOUNCEMENTS TO 2016 AND 2008
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
After presidential electors make their selections on Dec. 14, Joe Biden will be inaugurated on Jan. 20. We’re tracking Biden's presidential transition team, potential cabinet appointees, and the different policy positions of those individuals in our daily newsletter, the Transition Tracker ([link removed]) .
One of our features has taken a look at how long it took the projected winner of the three most recent presidential elections—Barack Obama (D) in 2008, Donald Trump (R) in 2016, and Joe Biden (R) 2020—to announce nominees for Cabinet and Cabinet-rank positions.
White House chief of staff was the first position to be announced by all three, with Obama taking the shortest time (two days after the election) and Biden the longest (eight days after).
With the exception of the chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, which was not Cabinet-rank in Trump's administration, Trump had named all of his nominees 72 days out.
Obama took 45 days to do the same. (The director of national intelligence was not a Cabinet-rank position in his administration.)
The chart below compares the amount of time it took each president-elect to announce each Cabinet and Cabinet-rank position.
