Elizabeth Warren for Labor Secretary

[LSparkle]

Joe Biden faces challenges similar to those FDR faced. FDR had Frances Perkins at his side as Labor Secretary to help create the New Deal. Elizabeth Warren has plans to help rebuild our nation in every sense and nominating her for Labor would be a wonderful tribute/echo of that era.

[Renew Deal]

1. We don't have room in the senate to lose her.

I doubt any Democratic senators are going anywhere if we win the two seats in GA. MA has a republican governor, and I'm sure we all remember Scott Brown.

[Happyhippychick]

2. No

[exboyfil]

3. Can't give up that Senate seat

[LSparkle]

11. Aware of her value in the Senate

I’m hoping we get good results in GA ...

[Statistical]

17. Even if by some miracle we win both seats in GA we need Warren in her seat even more.

No cabinet positions for any senator from any state that doesn't have a lock on replacing them with another Democratic senator.

[DLCWIdem]

4. We may need her senate seat.

Massachusetts Gov. is Baker a Republican. No matter how liberal he is he would appoint a Repub.

[Green Line]

24. He isn't liberal at all, he's a through and through Republican, he endorsed Susan Collins

[DLCWIdem]

33. Yes. But I have heard Dems here say he was ok

He also spoke out about tRump. Thats all I was trying to say. Maybe I should have placed quotation marks around liberal. He would appoint a Republican for that seat.

[LovingA2andMI]

5. Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Treasury....

We Take ANY of This as she DESERVES THIS!!!

[Demsrule86]

29. We deserve to have the Senate.

[still_one]

6. I wish people would stop this. Please realize that both Warren and Sanders come from

states with republican governors

WE NEED THEM IN THE SENATE

[relayerbob]

7. No, no Dem senators can leave their current posts

This is far too critical a time. Even with Dem governors, we do NOT need rookies in the Senate

[Demsrule86]

25. There is a GOP governor in Mass.

[relayerbob]

32. Yes, I know, that's why I said "even" in Dem States

I don't care where they are from, our Dem Senators all need to stay put

[DURHAM D]

8. ABSOLUTELY NOT !

She needs to stay right where she is.

[Patterson]

9. We need her to stay in the Senate.

[Chicago1980]

10. Who replaces her in the senate?

The governor of Massachusetts is a republican. Does he get to appoint or will there be a special election?

Last time a senator from Mass. went to an administration, we all got Scott Brown.

[Green Line]

27. Charlie Baker gets to appoint her replacement until there is a special election

If Charlie decides to run himself, he may be elected.

[tblue37]

12. He won't raid the Senate seats that would be filled by Republican governors. That would be nuts.

[DLCWIdem]

34. Yes he wii. He will appoint a republican

[icwlmuscyia]

13. Warren is too important as a senator

The Democratic Party needs policy makers who understand the regular citizen the way she does.

The Democratic Party must have lots of damn good bureaucrats that can run a bureaucracy for the good of Labor.

[SomedayKindaLove]

14. Warren in more valuable in Senate right now

Than any cabinet position.

[Glorfindel]

15. Cabinet positions are mostly ceremonial and powerless

No sitting governor, senator, or congressperson should be demoted to them, not even attorney general or secretary of state.

[stillcool]

16. She's busy. Already has a job as my Senator...

way more important than being a tribute.

[Afromania]

18. Even if we win GA we don't have seats in the Senate to spare.

you give her a pipeline to whatever office she wants one to.

[Fiendish Thingy]

19. Nope. Warren should be the next Senate Majority Leader. Nt

[Demsrule86]

23. No, we can't risk a senate seat.

[Fiendish Thingy]

26. That's why she should stay and be majority leader. Nt

[aquaman]

20. Nope

She will do more in the senate. We need her there.

[Demsrule86]

21. No She stays in the Senate...we need her there.

[Elwood P Dowd]

22. Like so many others here have said, we desperately need her in the Senate.

There are plenty of qualified Dems who could be Labor Secretary.

[moonscape]

28. There was a rumor/comment/something

that Biden was considering a blanket no on including any senators in his administration. This came after some jockeying by the Warren and Sanders camps.

[RichardRay]

30. I've seen she wants Treasury. N/T

[avebury]

31. Unfortunately we cannot afford to lose anybody in the Senate.

It will be hard enough trying to get anything done if McConnell remains the Senate Majority Leader.

[DLCWIdem]

35. I agree.
