The public image of the Biden government in the important areas of information, but also of the management of the economy, has a strong smell of women.
The newly-elected president chose Jen Psaki as the spokesperson for the White House. The Greek-born official has a background in the information field, serving as a State Department spokesman under John Kerry and later as White House communications director under Obama. During his tenure at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he had repeatedly addressed and commented on developments related to issues of Greek interest.
He has also taken over as head of the Senate ministers’ nomination and ratification process, a delicate process, especially if Republicans retain a majority in the House (which will be decided in by-elections). to be held on January 5 in Georgia).
However, Psaki, who will be the face of the Biden government on a daily basis, is not the only woman in the news. All White House staff in this crucial area, from the communications director, spokesperson and deputy spokesperson, a total of seven women will take on the task of pushing the project forward and managing difficulties that may arise during Biden’s presidency.
Jen Psaki speaks to the media at the White House on February 16, 2011.
Of course, the emphasis on gender equality is not limited to the field of communication. Many of Joe Biden’s hard-hitting elections have sent a clear message of gender equality, with Sen. Kamala Harris as first vice president, and in recent days he has announced the appointment of former Federal Reserve chair Janet New Yellen as Minister of Foreign Relations. and Linda Thomas Greenfield as Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations.
In particular, in terms of managing the economy, in addition to Yellen, the women will be the heads of the White House Budget Office as well as the president’s three-member Board of Financial Advisors.
Unlike other cases of women chosen by Donald Trump, Biden appointed to critical positions women whose experience and skills are not questioned by anyone.
The new president seems determined to make his mark in building gender equality. As he had promised to elect a woman as vice president, he has also promised that if given the opportunity to appoint a member of the Supreme Court, he will elect a black woman.
The women’s elections also reflect a political reality, as female voters played a key role in the victory of the Democratic candidate.
