(4,131 posts)There are plenty of positions to go around even after all the Democrats who helped get him elected have been hired and appointed to their positions of choice.
Joe is the type of guy who is going to remember the folks who helped make this day possible, no matter the letter designating their party affiliation.

(40,203 posts)That requires actually moving to a foreign country for your tenure. She may want to stay closer to her grandchildren and the rest of her family.
But she could certainly have some kind of role and I think that would be great.

(1,602 posts)I think that John McCain is the one most likely to be said of, "I didn't agree with his politics, but I respected the man" by Democrats. Cindy McCain has been even more willing to associate with Democrats, and McCain's stature has only grown in Arizona since his death.
I also think that it may be possible to tip Murkowski into the blue zone. She generally kept to her convictions, and unlike Susan Collins, when she disagreed with Trump (often) she usually voted that way. There are several people on the Republican side who recognized the danger of Trump, and we NEED them right now.

(1,654 posts)I think she's a smart lady and if she wants one, she would work hard at it. I think Joe's team are going to be careful with political appointments - not like Trump who picked appointees to departments and agencies directly from K street. Now I haven't heard of any mass suicides from K street so I assume they'll always be okay but if she would want one, I think it would show bipartisanship on Joe and Kamala's part.
