The coronavirus pandemic has scrambled the presidential race, but certain elements of the show must go on. Among the big decisions being pondered by Joe Biden, the Democrats’ presumptive nominee, while on lockdown in his Delaware home: Whom should he choose as his running mate? And if he wins in November, who should fill the rest of the top jobs in his administration?
Elizabeth Warren as Treasury secretary? Mitt Romney as secretary of state? What about Bill Gates to head Health and Human Services?
Factions within the Democratic Party are jockeying fiercely on behalf of their preferred picks — especially for the position of vice president. But why should the insiders have all the fun? Here’s your chance to get in on the action and field your Biden Dream Team.
For each position listed, choose a candidate from the drop-down menu of buzzed-about favorites and out-of-the-box possibilities — compiled via the highly unscientific method of culling campaign gossip, consulting with smart people who obsess about these policy areas, looking at past appointees and gaming out who has the chops to survive one of these pressure-cooker posts. Or write in your pick.
We’ll review your responses and share the results in a follow-up article.
