Biden Fulfilling Promise for a Diverse Administration



 

 

 

In a June 10 column in USA Today, Joe Biden said: “Across the board – from our classrooms to our courtrooms to the president’s Cabinet – we have to make sure that our leadership and our institutions actually look like America.” As Biden rolls out picks for the advisors and administrators who will make up his government, it's clear he is living up to his principles. Before the election he selected Kamala Harris, who is a woman of African American and South Asia descent, to serve as his Vice President, and her ascent to her office alone is enough to mark the Biden administration as perhaps the most diverse in history. Biden, however, is continuing to fill key roles in diplomacy, intelligence, health, communication and the rest of government with supremely qualified people of all genders and ethnicities. For instance he has tapped his longtime aide Kate Bedingfield to head an all-female communications team featuring veteran Democratic spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki as White House Press Secretary.

It's a far cry from the team of unqualified sycophants surrounding President Donald Trump. His staff has been a revolving door of hacks chosen primarily by whim on the basis of loyalty to the Great Leader with many of them eventually being dumped by Tweet. According to CNN, of his current 24 closest advisors, 19 are white men.
