Harris' team is considering keeping Biden Cabinet officials if she wins and Democrats lose the Senate
Harris has had to build a campaign quickly, leaving less time for considering future appointments.

WASHINGTON — If she wins in November, Vice President Kamala Harris may face a hostile, Republican-controlled Senate in no mood to confirm the senior Cabinet officials she’ll need to run her administration.

Anticipating that scenario, Harris’ team is exploring whether to keep in place some of the Biden administration officials who’ve already been confirmed by the Senate and wouldn’t need to face the gauntlet again, four people familiar with her transition planning said.

Her aides are also looking at the option of initially retaining some current officials so that she'd have more time to make staffing decisions. With only a few months to build a campaign after abruptly replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket, Harris has had little time to focus on the makeup of a new administration, the people familiar with the planning said.

This sounds like some Biden wonks wanting to overstay their welcome.  America does not like Biden's policies nor do they want Biden's people to remain.

Biden's team needs to go.  They've had 4 years to prove their value, and that value is less than zero.

If Republicans in the US Senate won't provide advise and consent to Kamala's apppointment nominess, she can always give herself "interim" appointments for Cabinet positions, like Trump did.

Reason #412 why not to vote for Kamala.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
