[Washington = Takao Kanasugi]Former Vice President Byden (77) of the Democratic Party of Japan, who won the US presidential elections with the results of all 50 states and the capital Washington on the 13th, is preparing for the ministerial appointment of the new administration. .. Not only Senator Harris (56), who was nominated as the first female vice presidential candidate, but also aspires to “the most diverse administration in American history,” women line up as promising candidates for important ministers. .
◆ Black, LGBT … Senate approval is the key
“I want to have a (diversified) administration that represents the United States.” In his victory speech on the 7th, Mr. Byden expressed his intention to actively promote women and racial minorities.
Among the new ministers, the one with the highest expectations from the US media is the appointment of the Secretary of Defense. Michelle Fronoy (59), who was undersecretary of defense during the former Obama administration, is considered influential. If she takes office, she will be the first female secretary since the position was founded after World War II.

There are many names for the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, but Susan Rice (55), former assistant to the president (in charge of national security affairs), is a leading candidate. However, it has been noted that Rice was concerned that he would be cold to Japan during the Obama administration, with an emphasis on China.
Rael Brainard, a 58-year-old member of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) board of directors, is believed to be the darling of the finance minister, who runs the economy. Former Attorney General Sally Yates (60) is being considered for Attorney General, Reuters reported on the 9th.

It has been noted that LGBT (sexual minority) has been fighting to select a presidential candidate, and that Mr. Buti Jedge (38), former mayor of South Bend in Midwest India, who announced he is gay, will be appointed as ambassador of the ONU.
But the problem is the “Senate wall.” Senate approval is required to become a minister. The Democratic Party intended to regain a majority in the Senate elections (100 constant), in which a third were re-elected at the same time as the presidential elections, but it was slow.
If the number of votes is the same, Harris, who will be the vice president, will also serve as president of the Senate and cast a decisive vote, so the Democratic Party can take the initiative with 50 seats, but the current situation is only 48 seats. The remaining two seats will be decided by a final vote at the beginning of the year, but the Republican Party is believed to retain the majority.
If the Republican Party were to oppose him, there would be a dark cloud in the realization of Byden’s concept.
