Gina Raimondo is Joe Biden's designated survivor and big business' favorite cabinet member
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo's ambition is palpable, and there's little doubt that she's angling to replace Biden should he decide not to run in 2024. But Insider's Adam Wren wonders: Is she too out of touch with the populist, grassroots energy of her own party to serve as its standard-bearer?

A former VC, Raimondo serves as the president's Republican whisperer, deploying her business credentials to eke out votes for some of the biggest legislative initiatives, most notably the $65 billion broadband portion of the bipartisan infrastructure law.

To some, Raimondo is little more than a tool of big business. But on the stump, she's able to move easily between the corporate boardroom and the union hall, in part due to her family's union history.
