Clyburn: Biden’s team should ‘take a hard look beyond gender and color’ for cabinet positions

House Majority Whip James Clyburn encouraged Joe Biden and his transition team on Thursday to “take a hard look beyond gender and color” when selecting individuals for Cabinet positions.

Clyburn was asked for his reaction to dissatisfaction that there hasn’t been more Latinos or Asian Americans named to Biden’s Cabinet so far. In his answer, Clyburn referred to his wife’s background, explaining that her life “experience” was totally different from his own.

“Those backgrounds, those experiences, though we are both the same skin color, same complexion, we were different,” he said during a “Assembling an Administration” discussion hosted by The Atlantic. “And these accommodations had to be reconciled and made. So I just think that when you’re vetting candidates, you need to, for any office, you need to take a hard look beyond gender and color.”

  1. Biden should consider the most qualified person for the job enough of this doing favors for those you know or choosing because of their color. Get back to basics the way we were all taught.
