Joe Biden cabinet speculation megathread

[Lognog]

Don't know if this has been said here.

But what about:
Donnelley for agriculture
Hietkamp for interior

I think it is most likely going to be Rice but I'm hoping for Powers

Yglesias has an article today with some speculation about who is in the mix for different roles. Of the big four:

State: Rice, Anthony Blinken, Bill Burns, Chris Coons, Chris Murphy
Treasury: Brainard, Sarah Bloom Raskin, Raphael Bostic
Defense: Flournoy, possibly Duckworth
AG: Jones, Becerra, Perez, Julian Castro

Raskin at treasury would be a blessing. Disappointed in the lack of talk for Powers in state

If Biden has Warren as Sec. of Treasury and Sanders as Sec. of Labor (two very presumptuous assumptions), he'll already be on the way to a pretty progressive administration.

I wonder why Lisa Blunt Rochester isn't mentioned more for Labor? She was DE Secretary of Labor and would be a diverse pick. 

She's going for senate

Yeah, she's definitely Carney's appointee if Biden calls up Coons (though that's rather unlikely now, given that I don't think they're gonna do sh*t to f**k with the Senate vis-a-vis numbers or special elections).

she's popular, although yes, its risky
