As former Vice President Joe Biden speeds toward securing the Democratic presidential nomination, internal campaign sources gave Axios a list of names Biden is weighing for Cabinet roles and other top positions within his potential administration.
According to Axios, the Biden campaign is leaning toward a "Return to Normal" plan that undoes President Donald Trump's policies and reinstates much of the political apparatus that existed during the Obama years.
Here are some of the people Biden is considering for senior positions, per Axios:
Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg is a top contender to head up the World Bank.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as Treasury secretary.
Former South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg as the US ambassador to the United Nations, or the US trade representative.
California Sen. Kamala Harris as attorney general.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Bank of America vice chairman Anne Finucane have both been floated for positions at the Treasury Department.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry may reprise his role or take on a Cabinet position focused on combatting climate change.
Former national security adviser Susan Rice may be nominated for a State Department role.
Former deputy attorney general Sally Yates is a contender for attorney general.
A Morning Consult poll released on Friday showed Biden crushing Sanders by 16 percentage points nationally.

(25,473 posts)Occasionally, they post useful information but it's often just speculation masquerading as journalism.
I don't recall the details, but they "broke" a couple of "exclusives" in the 2016 campaign that turned out to be completely false.
