With certain Trump cabinet nominees receiving hearings this week for confirmation, a list of Hillary Clinton’s intended cabinet members has just been released. Former Politico staffer Mike Allen, through his new Axios newsletter, has released all the names of people and the positions they were being considered to run had Clinton become the President-elect.
One thing to note is that the consideration for head of the EPA was simply listed as “likely an African American”, and the same goes for Education Secretary. It’s an odd requirement to base a decision on considering that a person’s race doesn’t determine if they can do the job or not.The following is the list:
