When should Harris resign her Senate seat?
Assuming we win the 2 Georgia senate seats, if she waits until January 20th and is named immediately it will still take a day or two before the replacement can be seated. That give the GOP a 50 to 49 seat majority for those few days in which they will be able to pass rules that will hamstring Dems when they take over. They could bring back the filibuster for everything and require a 67 vote majority to break it.
Of course if we lose the 2 seats in Georgia, none of this matters.
It's over! The fat man has sung!

The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

I'm just fine with all of Biden's nominees
First, I trust his judgement completely. Probably more than any other President elected in my lifetime. He knows government and how things work in Washington. And he knows who will be most effective at getting things done.
Second, it's his administration. He has the right to assemble his chosen team.
Third, most of the complaints that I've heard about some of the picks have nothing to do with the person's ability to do the job but are about optics. Oh please. We need competent people, not someone for a photo op to check a box off of some political correctness list.
And finally, if one of your favorites doesn't get picked for a position, please don't whine about it. We've has 4 years of a fanboy Presidency, now let the grownups clean mess and get things done.
