I could see Dick Durbin as AG if he wants it
With AOC's blue collar background and her Green New Deal I can see here getting the Labor nod.
Mayor Pete definitely gets a spot IMO. Being as he's a Rhodes Scholar with an Econ degree from Oxford I selected Sec of the Treasury.
I also see a place for Stacy Abrams
Let me give some a shot:
Sec of State: Liz Warren
Sec of Treas: Mayor Pete
Sec of Defense: GEN McCrystal
AG: Stacy Abrams
Sec of Commerce: Andrew Wang
Sec of Housing: Bill DeBlasio
As to the 51% that's what was reported; we know how polls work (margin of error and all); it's why I said "I think" it was much higher; as nobody I talked to here or in real life was stoked about Biden.
Here is my list:
State - Susan Rice
Treasury - Elizabeth Warren
Defense - Tammy Duckworth
Justice - Sally Yates
Interior - Tom Udall
Agriculture - Heidi Heitkamp
Commerce - Andrew Yang
Labor - Bernie Sanders
Health and Human Services - Vivek Murthy
Housing and Urban Development - Maurice Jones
Transportation - Rahm Emmanuel
Energy - Ernest Moniz
Education - Linda Darling-Hammond
Veterans' Affairs - Pete Buttigieg
Homeland Security - Alejandro Mayorkas
I think AOC has ruffled too many feathers to get her in the cabinet at this point. As for Abrams, I think they see her as a more valuable asset out in the field than in the administration.
Edit: I said that about AOC then saw this article pop up: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/07/us/politics/aoc-biden-progressives.html
