    Harris initially said that “not a thing comes to mind” that she would have done anything differently than Biden. But then she went on to elaborate.

    “Listen, I plan on having a Republican in my Cabinet,” Harris elaborated. “You ask me what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me, well that will be one of the differences.”

    Then, she appeared to take a jab at Biden, adding, “I don’t feel burdened by letting pride get in the way of a good idea.”

    I’d heard the “not a thing” but this is the first I’m hearing she’s committing to a Republican in her Cabinent…

    That’s just fucking insane

      There are only two cabinet-level positions that don’t require Senate approval. One is already occupied by Tim Walz and the other is WH Chief of Staff, which I very much doubt would be the position Harris has in mind.

      If no Democrat uses the filibuster to block this, the filibuster has no purpose but to block progressive legislation.

      She said it at least a few weeks ago. I think it made headlines for like half a day and then Trump said some absolutely crazy shit again so everyone collectively forgot what Harris was doing.

        Jesus, I wish it was obvious if you meant Dick or Liz…

        But Hillary and Biden have drug the Dem party so far right both Cheney’s have endorsed Harris, and I really wouldn’t be surprised
