Joe Biden Chooses Susan Rice As Top White House Domestic Policy Adviser
The choice of Susan Rice, 56, as Biden’s top domestic policy adviser came as somewhat of a surprise given her extensive background in foreign policy.
US President-elect Joe Biden chose Susan Rice, who was national security adviser to former President Barack Obama, on Thursday to lead the White House’s domestic policy council as part of a flurry of appointments to his developing administration.
Biden additionally picked previous Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack to serve a second residency as agribusiness secretary, Obama White House assistant Denis McDonough as Secretary of Veterans Affairs, US Representative Marcia Fudge to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Katherine Tai as US Trade Representative, his change group said in an articulation.
The decision of Rice, 56, as Biden’s top homegrown arrangement guide, came as to some degree an unexpected given her broad foundation in international strategy. Other than her function as Obama’s public security guide, she prior filled in as his envoy to the United Nations. She was a competitor recently to be Biden’s running mate.
Vilsack, 69, filled in as USDA secretary under Obama for a very long time and as Iowa lead representative from 1999 to 2007 and is seen by foundation Democrats as a sound decision, to a great extent in light of his moderate legislative issues and longstanding associations with huge scope ranchers.
Yet, his legislative affirmation is required to confront headwinds from reformist Democrats. Pundits contend Vilsack is comfortable with corporate agribusiness and top campaigning gatherings, for example, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the US Dairy Export Council, where he is at present the CEO. He had been a resolute early supporter of Biden’s official offer.
