Clyburn throws out names for positions in Biden administration
House Majority Whip James Clyburn pitched some names for positions in Biden's new administration during an interview with CNN on Wednesday.
He named Sen. Bernie Sanders, Stacey Abrams and Jaime Harrison (who ran against Sen. Lindsey Graham this cycle) as people Biden should look at.
When asked if there is a role for Abrams, Pete Buttigieg or Bernie Sanders in this cabinet, Clyburn replied, "Yes, as well as the Jaime Harrisons. I'm not going to let y'all forget about Jaime.”
“The fact of the matter is he is co-chair of the DNC, now, or associate counsel of the DNC. He ran for that office four years ago,” Clyburn said. “He is a young man who should not be left on the battlefield.”
“Stacey Abrams has done great work. I think she's going to be very successful, come January the 5th, with all the other people working around her,” Clyburn said. “So, there are a lot of young people out there and some not-so-young people, like Bernie Sanders, I wish would come into the administration.”
Interestingly, Clyburn did not mention Buttigieg during his interview.
Clyburn’s endorsement and support of Biden during the campaign were seen as pivotal for Biden's path to the presidency.
