Should Hillary Clinton be the next HHS Secretary?

I think she'd be a fabulous choice under Biden to be the Health and Human Services Secretary! Normally, this position is just an afterthought, but after this pandemic, we need a HHS head that knows what they are doing and able to navigate the country's health care struggles with the pandemic.

SHOCK POLL: KY-GOV (D) Andy Beshear is most popular governor in America

When it comes to governing through the coronavirus outbreak, Kentucky is second to none.

That's according to a U.S. News and World Report poll that shows Gov. Andy Beshear in the top spot among governors nationally with a score of 4.44 out of 5.

Breaking down the responses further: 86% said Beshear has been "good" or "excellent;" 9% were "neutral;" and 5% said his response to the pandemic is "poor" or "very poor."

In all, 64% of the 28,000 or so responses approved of the job their governor was doing. Fewer than 40% said the same about the federal government.

In case you have been ignoring social media, Beshear has become quite the sensation in Kentucky and even nationally. Multiple Facebook pages centered around social media memes surrounding the governor have popped up, and his 5 p.m. press briefings have become must-watch events for many Kentuckians (sometimes with a drink in hand).

I just wanna give props to my governor! Everyone loves him here. I've never seen so many Republicans compliment a Democratic politician. Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency in Kentucky before Gov Cuomo in NY. Because of that, he's kept Kentucky's cases down. I think it's time that governors like Beshear and Newsom get credit for being ahead of the curve.
