Who will be the cabinet secretaries after tomorrow?

[Dr. Jack]

I guess I have a bit of a blind spot in my knowledge of presidential transitions. Im pretty sure none of Bidens cabinet picks will be approved by the Senate in the next 14 hours or so. In that case, who's running the various departments? I can't imagine Biden would want all of Trump's appointees like Mnuchin and Pompeo to hang around, so who will be in Bidens cabinet before his picks are confirmed by the Senate?

4. I was wondering the same

Yet another thing we’ve never had to worry about because transitions have always gone in a smooth and orderly fashion (at least, in my lifetime). The confirmations are going to take ages with a-holes like Hawley and Co. throwing out every objection they can possibly dream up. Sigh.

5. It's reasonable to assume status remains quo;

it's not as if secretaries are needed to turn the wheels.

There were 5 hearings in the senate today.

As Rachel says, an Empty cabinet.
