Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's economic transition team is starting to look like a "who's who" from the Obama administration.
Biden’s economic team appears to be diverse in gender, age, and ideology, but most of them have the common background of having worked with Biden or former President Barack Obama during the last administration.
The first four members of Biden’s new economic transition team confirmed by the Washington Examiner are Jared Bernstein, a longtime Biden economic adviser, Don Graves, who advised Biden for many years, Cecilia Munoz, who was a senior staffer in the Obama White House, and Joelle Gamble, a Democratic organizer who interned at the Treasury Department in 2018.
Other prominent economists known to be advising the Biden campaign include Ben Harris and Heather Boushey. Harris served as chief economist to Biden when he was vice president and is now teaching at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Boushey is president of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, a liberal nonprofit research organization. She also served as chief economist for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential transition team.
