Former Biden administration officials are landing cushy new jobs around Washington, D.C., in the weeks after being replaced by their Trump administration successors.

Ex-Biden officials who worked in the White House, Department of Energy (DOE), Commerce Department and more are now snapping up new gigs at well-heeled law firms, activist groups, universities and other organizations as the new Trump administration takes shape and gets to work. Many of their new employers are the type of powerful institutions that make up “The Swamp,” a term President Donald Trump frequently uses to describe the permanent political class and special interests that collectively exercise massive influence over the U.S. government.

For example, Gina Raimondo, who served in the Biden administration as the Secretary of Commerce, is headed to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), where she will serve as a distinguished senior fellow. Specifically, she will focus on economic policy and artificial intelligence at CFR while serving as co-chair for the think tank’s new task force on economic security.

I'm sure she's overwhelmingly qualified.
