She's being groomed to take over in the next Democratic Administration.

Trump used the term "highly respected" all time, and usually the opposite was true.

In all seriousness, seems like a solid choice. California is pretty well represented in this administration: Kamala Harris, Xavier Becerra, Aljeandro Mayorkas and Isabel Guzman are all of cabinet rank.

Janet Yellen as well.

Janet Yellen is from New York. She's a born and bred Brooklynite like myself.

But her state of residence is California so we, at least, get some claim. Ha!

Of course, Josh Hawley has already voted NO on Yellen's nomination.

So far there are 4 NO votes (Hawley, Boozman, Paul, Cotton).

Tuberville is a no too lol, which makes 6 (forget the last one but I'm guessing it's Mike Lee).

Edit: Risch, Shelby, and Blackburn have voted no as well. What is Risch's problem? He never struck me as particularly nuts.

Edit 2: Turns out it wasn't Lee, so idk who the last no vote was.

EDIT: and, to no one's shock, Cruz.

Has Hoeven become Trumpier over the years or was he always further-out than his profile and image suggested?

I don't know well enough to make the call, but as I can recall, he's always been a bit Trumpy.

Yes, but her home state is California. She was the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

Good. Biden had better make damn good f**king use of the administrative state if the Senate does stay paralyzed.

Another poster pointed out that her residence is based in California. She's still a New Yorker above all else (at least in my opinion).

Hillary Clinton is an Illinoisan above all else despite the fact that she represented NY in the Senate and currently resides here.
