Finally after way too long, today the current administration is to begin the Biden transition protocols that they have been dragging their feet about, since they felt a need to make this transition as challenging as possible.
In addition Biden has shared some of his nominees for various roles in the government. Among this list is a whole bunch of glassing ceilings that will be breaking. (Now it will all depend on if congress agrees but at this moment I will just celebrate and not worry about that practicality)
Biden plans to nominate former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen to head the Treasury Department who would be the first women in that role.
Biden plans to nominate Alejandro Mayorkas to head the Department of Homeland Security who would be both the 1st Latino and 1st immigrate in the post.
Biden plans to nominate Avril Haines as the Director of National Intelligence who would be the first woman to lead the intelligence community.
In addition Biden plans to nominate Linda Thomas-Greenfield for the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. While she is not the first, I believe she is only the second Black Woman to hold that role which means while she may not be newly breaking a ceiling she is making the hole larger so more will be able to follow her more easily.
There is suppose to be another list of nominations that are shared tomorrow and I will collect the breaking ceilings from that list and share in a later post.
