As far as women are concerned, right from the jump, former Vice President Joe Biden promised a team that would look like this country.
His very first pick was historic — Kamala Harris for vice president, a woman who also checks two other identity boxes — Black and Asian. The Democrat’s trifecta. (And she’s married to a Jew, but we don’t talk too much about that.)
In the last 48 hours, Biden has named his senior communications team — seven women — and more.
For director of national intelligence, the first woman to head the agency, Avril Haines.
The first Black female ambassador to the U.N., Linda Thomas-Greenfield (another double-dipper who also checks the Black box). The first woman ambassador was Nikki Haley.
For Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen.
Management and Budget, Neera Tanden.
