Reference News Network reported on November 19 Foreign media said US President-elect Biden issued a signal on the 17th that he will use long-term loyal aides with deep government work experience when he enters the White House next year; This is the anti-establishment attitude adopted by Trump after his election four years ago. Quite different.
According to a Reuters report from Wilmington, USA, on November 17, US President-elect Biden appointed several senior White House officials on the 17th. Biden’s Transitional Office said in a statement that campaign manager Jane O’Malley Dillon will serve as the White House deputy chief of staff. She set a precedent in which a merchant led the Democratic Party to win the presidential election.
Long-term advisers Mike Donilen and Steve Riketty will serve as senior advisers to the president and legal advisers, respectively. Dana Remus, the campaign’s chief attorney, will also serve as an advisor to the president.
Ron Klein, another close adviser, has been appointed White House chief of staff.
U.S. Representative Cedric Richmond, who served as Biden’s national campaign co-chair and former chair of the Congressional Committee on Black Members, will vacate a seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives as Senior Advisor and Director of the Office of Public Contact of the White House. He has been a member of Congress for five terms and has some experience bridging the gaps between the two parties, which can help Biden advance Congressional priorities.
According to the report, Trump’s refusal to admit defeat has led to a stalemate in the normal transition to the new government. Before the current administration admits that Biden won the election, Biden’s team was unable to obtain federal funding and office space.
Biden also did not receive the confidential intelligence information that the president-elect should have received. Instead, he met with his team of national security experts, including some who are considering being appointed to high-level foreign policy positions, such as former United States Under Secretary of State Anthony Brinken, former Deputy National Security Advisor. Evril Haynes, and Samantha Bauer, former US ambassador to the United Nations, and others.
Biden said that so far, he has spoken with 13 foreign leaders and told them, “America is back and America is no longer alone.” On the 17th, he spoke with the leaders of India, South Africa and Chile, as well as with Trump’s ally, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
According to a report on the USA Today website on November 17, after announcing a series of personnel appointments on the 17th, the prototype of the team that will be stationed in the west wing of the White House from January 20, 2019, is clarified. next year. The people Biden employed were former assistants when he was vice president, or had worked with Obama or had long-term work experience in other government departments.
“The team has a lot of experience,” former Obama legislative affairs chief Phil Skilliro said of Biden’s candidates.
Biden’s appointment is reportedly a far cry from Trump’s initial appointment of many outsiders to key positions in the White House (from strategic analyst Stephen Bannon to son-in-law Jared Kushner). Experts say Trump’s restrictions on appointments are partly due to the radical line against the system he adopted in the White House.
John Burke, a political scientist at the University of Vermont, said Biden named a team that was experienced and loyal to him.
“Biden has only left office for four years, which helps him attract these experienced people.” James Fiffner, emeritus professor of public policy at George Mason University, said, “Trump is at a great disadvantage. Because he was unable or unwilling to recruit seasoned Republican politicians.”
The report also said that this initial appointment also shows that the White House team is committed to diversification. For example, many of the employees named on the 17th are people of color. All three declared staff members are Latino. Cedric Richmond is the past chairman of the Black Members of Congress Committee.
Biden also had a video meeting with defense and foreign affairs advisers on the 17th, some of whom are also being considered for appointment. “I believe that we must restore America’s leadership and bring America back to the top of the table,” Biden told these people on the 17th.
The report noted that, so far, Biden’s emphasis on the Washington experience may make some Democrats unhappy. Some liberal groups, such as the “Justice Democrats” organization, are already asking the president-elect to select more progressive candidates for high-level positions.
Biden held a video conference with members of the Homeland Security Expert Group in Wilmington on the 17th to discuss relevant employment intentions. (AFP)
