As Democrats revel in Vice President Harris closing the polling gap against former President Trump, speculation is ramping up over who might serve in a potential Harris Cabinet if she prevails in November.
Any Cabinet appointee would likely face a razor-thin Democratic-controlled or GOP-controlled Senate, meaning Harris would have to balance partisan realities with her desire to break the mold with her choices, like naming the first woman to head the Pentagon.
“I’m sure it will be very diverse. I think it will be a mix of people who have been around Washington for a while in these kinds of roles because she respects that, but also she might mix it up and bring in new voices,” said a Harris ally.
Harris would likely keep some Biden administration officials in their positions, and pull from her time in the Senate and as California’s attorney general.
Here are some of the top choices for Harris, if she wins.
