So why isn't Clyburn on any lists for the cabinet?

[dsc]

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.

1. Because he is likely statisfied in congress being a leader.nt.

[BlueNProud]

2. Maybe he doesn't want one. It might only be a 4 year job

and I'm guessing he can serve as many terms in the house as he wants

[PatSeg]

10. I agree

I seriously doubt at this point in his life he has any interest in leaving congress for a four year position.

[Wounded Bear]

3. Too valuable where he is...

[Klaralven]

4. Why at age 80 would he give up a top legislative job for a cabinet post?

[octoberlib]

5. Maybe he prefers to stay in the House? If he really wanted a position , I can't imagine

Biden would say no. Not everyone wants a Cabinet position.Also, he may be up for something, we just don't know about it yet.

[JaneQPublic]

6. It would be a step down. (nt)

[jcgoldie]

7. He has said he is happy where he is

[brush]

9. Yes, and he's also said he doen't want one.

And I must say he's very effective where he is.

[dsc]

13. I actually hadn't heard he didn't want one

and I can easily see that.

[Bev54]

8. He is likely happy to be where he is,

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.

[Demsrule86]

11. No more people leaving the house...not sure we could get his seat in South Carolina.

[dsc]

12. it is the VRA seat so yeah we definitely could keep it

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Maybe he doesn't want a cabinet position.

[GoCubsGo]

15. Because he's already doing as he pleases.

Not everyone wants to be in the Cabinet, especially when they wield more power as the House Majority Whip.

[cally]

16. I read somewhere or heard him say

he doesn't want to move to administration. I can't remember or find where I heard this.

[maxsolomon]

17. I assume you've watched him? He's not a Bureaucrat.

He's a voice of moral authority. He's not a Bureaucrat.

And he's 80.

[JI7]

18. Probably becsuse he is already influential in his current position

cabinet would restrict these powers.

[Turin_C3PO]

19. He'd be an excellent pick

to serve in the Cabinet, assuming he wants to. Yes, Clyburn is the reason things turned around for Biden in South Carolina.

[Politicub]

20. He cares about the welfare of his constituents.

I wish all reps cared about their constituents as much as he does.

[helpisontheway]

21. I heard he pushed for Cedric Richmond to get a spot. I don't think he is interested

in a position. At least he did not say that he was interested. 🤷🏽‍♀️
