He is as close to single handedly responsible for Biden winning as a person whose name isn't Biden could be. I don't recall him saying he wouldn't serve in the cabinet. He should be secretary of whatever he dang well pleases given his role in Biden's win.

(10,047 posts)he is not getting any younger and likely doesn't want to change careers at this time. Having said that, who is to say he isn't. Only a few positions have been announced.

And he's 80.
