10. I like Amy but I thought the Biden team had an informal "ban" on considering any current Senators...

For cabinet positions? Also, I saw one of her recent interviews after the election when it was clear Joe had won and she said she wasn't interested in a cabinet position. She said she loved her current position and thought she was most effective as Senator.

I realize that this doesn't really mean anything. It could all change if a coveted position is offered to her.
