Cindy McCain Joins Biden-Harris Transition Team’s Advisory Board

Adding Additional Bipartisan Voice to Diverse and Experienced Group

WASHINGTON — Today, the Biden-Harris Transition team announced Cindy McCain, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the McCain Institute for International Leadership at Arizona State University and the widow of U.S. Senator John McCain, will join the Transition team’s diverse and bipartisan advisory board. This news follows Mrs. McCain’s endorsement of Vice President Joe Biden for President last Tuesday.

“Cindy McCain is joining our already strong advisory board of diverse experts who are committed to ensuring a Biden-Harris administration is ready to meet our country’s most urgent challenges on Day One,” said Ted Kaufman, Co-Chair, Biden-Harris Transition. “This transition is like no other, preparing amid the backdrop of a global health crisis and struggling economy, which makes Mrs. McCain’s experience as a business woman, philanthropist, and longtime advocate for issues impacting women and children all the more valuable.”

The Biden-Harris Transition team’s co-chairs, advisory board and senior leadership are an experienced group of experts who are prepared to lay the groundwork for a possible Biden administration and are ready to tackle the challenges facing our country.

Each advisory board member has been asked to provide counsel to the Biden-Harris Transition team as it plans to respond to the major crises the country is facing – particularly the public health crisis and the recession. This is all part of the bold strategy Vice President Biden has outlined for working families, which includes unprecedented investments in American competitiveness and our middle class.

Diversity of ideology and background is a core value of the transition, and today’s announcement is another step demonstrating the importance of unifying the country under a Biden-Harris administration. McCain is the second registered Republican to join the advisory board. She joins Bob McDonald, Retired Chairman, President & CEO of The Procter & Gamble Company and 8th Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

[Sedona]

1. The future AG Sally Yates

[elleng]

3. YES!

[onetexan]

4. THAT would be amazing! I'm torn between her & Preet Bharara. I hope either one w/ be appointed.

So glad to see she's on Biden's transition list

[Sedona]

5. I think Preet needs to be on SCOTUS

[leftieNanner]

6. That would be very cool

Question: Has he ever been a judge? Is that a prerequisite?

[Sedona]

10. Google says no

[onetexan]

8. Ohhhhhh now THAT's a GREAT IDEA!!!

[roamer65]

13. Yes.

[elleng]

2. Pleased to see all of these, especially:

Sally Yates
Former Deputy Attorney General, United States Department of Justice

Pete Buttigieg
Former Mayor, South Bend, Indiana and 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate

[Cha]

7. Yeah, Biden doesn't mess around.. he was ready

to hit the ground Running even Before January 21, 2021!

That's why so many of us wanted him to be our Candidate.. & will you look at us now!

[onetexan]

9. This is what years of experience in good governing brings

careful and orderly transition planning, so that the administration hits the ground running the first day. It's SOP for a normal administration. Not so much the doofus given he is a know-nothing fake POTUS who ran his administration like a cabal and outright thuggery.

[Cha]

11. Yes.. it's Extraordinary what all

that experience in the Executive branch & excellent qualifications are dong for the Transition to POTUS.. especially in this time of extreme crisis.

Harris has some good experience & qualifications, herself, to bring to the Table! Boom.

[roamer65]

12. Secretary of State Susan Rice, Secretary of Education Jennifer Granholm and AG Sally Yates.

Since I don’t think Tim Geithner would take the Treasury job.

Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen. She was the former Federal Reserve chair.

Donna Shalala would also make a great cabinet secretary, due to her past experience at HHS.

[Retrograde]

14. Wait - there's no one named Biden here!

Joe isn't following Trump's proud tradition of nepotism and cronyism - he's actually picking experienced people!
