As is standard procedure with competent campaigns, the Biden team is already planning to staff a new administration.
NBC reports:
WASHINGTON — Progressives are pushing hard to see Elizabeth Warren leading the Treasury Department in an opening salvo of a coming ideological struggle for control of key government posts if Joe Biden wins the presidency.
Donors, activists and leaders on the left want Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, as treasury secretary, more than a half-dozen of them said. And people Warren has spoken to are under the impression that she wants the job if she is offered it.
“There’s a huge gap between Sen. Warren and any other likely candidate,” said Larry Cohen, former president of the Communications Workers of America union and a close ally of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. “She, first of all, understands finance capital and second of all is prepared to wrangle with it. Some of the other candidates I’ve heard about are not prepared to wrangle with it.”
Imagine how Wall Street would react.
“You want to know how it’ll be? I’ll tell ‘ee … the heavens will open up, and blood will come raining down … and there’ll be plagues of frogs and locusts … and the earth’ll crack, and the seas will boil over … and nameless abominations will come forth, crawling from the slimy depths … there’ll be storms, there’ll be sleet, and fire will engulf the whole earth … er, the rest of the night will be fine except for outbreaks of rain”.
