The advisers and Cabinet of Joe Biden will be of utmost importance.

His VP pick will need to be someone that can increase his vote totals, for example.

Joe Biden is not a political revolutionary. He has been a safe moderate for most of his political career.

That is why the people he chooses for his Cabinet will be so important.

His AG should be a courageous law and order person, intent on finding justice for the American people.

His Secretary of State will need to be strong enough to rebuild relations around the world.

The people around Joe Biden may be more important than Biden himself?

This will be no time for politics as usual.

It is my feeling that this year will be very different. In the past VP picks were chosen for that reason but this year we have a deadly pandemic and a scary President we need to get rid of. Who can take over as President if something awful should happen will be top of the mind, IMHO. This year is different.
