"When broken down by race and gender, Biden's desired Cabinet is nearly 55% nonwhite and 45% female. (Confirmation hearings are still underway or have not yet started for a number of positions.)Former President Donald Trump's initial confirmed Cabinet was 82% white and 82% male. Former President Barack Obama's first-term Cabinet, meanwhile, was 55% white and 64% male.Biden's Cabinet also includes multiple historic nominations that aren't highlighted in these overall numbers, including in Pete Buttigieg, the first openly gay secretary confirmed to the Cabinet; Janet Yellen, the first woman to lead the Treasury Department; and Deb Haaland, who, if confirmed, would be the first Native American in a president's Cabinet."--The beauty of diversity :) Posted by CM @iynna
