Cabinet Frontrunners per Politico

Link to tweet

?s=21

Do you all think Doug Jones will be an aggressive enough AG? He seems too moderate to really go hard after Trump and his enablers. I would prefer an Adam Schiff, Preet Bharara, Glenn Kirschner, Sally Yates type.

I was also hoping Maria Yavanovitch would be considered for Sec. of State.

They don't know squat, they tend to try and sow division and acrimony between Democrats.

President Biden and Vice President Harris will be the only ones I'm going to listen to, the rest is white noise especially when it comes from news outlets like Politico and the Hill.

and he will be plenty aggressive, just ask the people who bombed the 15st church in Birmingham, you can find them in the prison he sent them to. I am hoping Jones gets AG. Clayborn isn't on this list but if he wants a position he should get it.
