President-elect Biden must nominate candidates for 15 executive agency positions that, along with the Vice President, comprise the president's Cabinet ([link removed]) . This includes positions such as the secretary of state, secretary of defense, and attorney general. These appointments all require Senate confirmation.[1] ([link removed])
However, selecting new Cabinet members is merely the tip of the iceberg. In 2016, there were a total of 1,714 government positions subject to presidential appointment: 1,242 positions required Senate confirmation, and 472 did not.[2] ([link removed])
The new administration is also responsible for filling thousands of other positions across the federal government, including in operations and policy. Every weekday, Ballotpedia's Daily Transition Tracker ([link removed]) highlights potential Cabinet nominees, appointments, and news related to the Biden presidential transition.
