(6,283 posts)I know that all my choices are not presidential candidates, but being a presidential candidate does not necessarily qualify for certain positions.
President Joe Biden
Vice president Kamala Harris or Eric Swalwell
Secretary of State Elizabeth Warren
Secretary of Defense John Kerry
US Attorney General Robert Mueller (Republican, but who does not trust or respect him?)
Secretary of Homeland Security Malcolm Nance
The other positions I left out will have to be determined later.
