Cabinet choices.

Some that have come into my mind.

AG Sally Yates
Sec of State Susan Rice
Sec of Commerce Elizabeth Warren but she could fit in a lot places.
Sec of Defense Duckworth or Vindman
NASA Mark Kelly
CDC Fauci

Lots left to fill.

Suggestions?

Sadly, Massachusetts has a Republican governor, so I don't want him placing a Republican in there, even if temporary. Warren as Senate Majority Leader?

She could do either Commerce or Treasury. But I think you may be right that she is best for Treasury.

to be re-elected. And Mass really does not like Trump. Gov doesn’t even like Trump. He’s not going to try and step on the new Treasury Secretary.
