    IMO , Neera Tanden is the juicy bone Biden threw out for the republican's dogs to chew on while he get's all his other nominations though.

    • Zients, Murthy tapped to head up Biden’s Covid-19 response


    President-elect Joe Biden has tapped two close allies to oversee his administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to two people familiar with the decision.

    Transition co-chair and former Obama administration official Jeff Zients is set to serve as the White House’s Covid-19 coordinator and Vivek Murthy, the former U.S. surgeon general under Obama, will return to that role, but with a broader portfolio that will include acting as the top medical expert and public face of the effort.

    Marcella Nunez-Smith, a co-chair of Biden’s Covid-19 advisory board, will also take a key role in the administration’s response, focused on health disparities.

    Biden’s team plans to roll out these and other health care personnel announcements as soon as this weekend.

    • The top candidates Biden is considering for key energy and climate roles


    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has urged President-elect Joe Biden to nominate Mary Nichols, chair of California's air pollution regulator, to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, Bloomberg reports.

    Why it matters: The reported push by Schumer could boost Nichol's chances of leading an agency that will play a pivotal role in Biden's vow to enact aggressive new climate policies — especially because the plan is likely to rest heavily on executive actions.

    Where it stands: The EPA gig is just one of several important outstanding selections. The New York Times has a nice rundown of names in contention for other energy- and climate-related jobs.

    Here's just a few...


    • Mustafa Santiago Ali, a former EPA official, is in contention to head the White House Council on Environmental Quality. He's currently an exec with the National Wildlife Federation.
    • Ali A. Zaidi, a top New York State energy official who also served in the Obama administration, "is widely considered the front-runner for the role of domestic climate change coordinator," the NYT reports.
    • The NYT and E&E News both report that former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm is a possibility for the White House climate coordinator role, while E&E also lists Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee as an option.
    • Michael Connor, an alum of the Obama and Clinton administrations, is among the options for Interior Secretary, per the NYT. He's a citizen of the Taos Pueblo, and the piece notes there's strong interest in nominating a Native American to lead Interior for the first time.
    • Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress, also "remains a contender" for Interior, the NYT reports.

    Biden officially secures Electoral College majority after California certifies votes

    It is over now...

    California certified its presidential election Friday and appointed 55 electors pledged to vote for President-elect Biden, officially handing him the Electoral College majority needed to win the White House.

    Secretary of State Alex Padilla's formal approval of Mr. Biden's win in the state brought his tally of pledged electors to 279, according to a tally from The Associated Press. That's just over the 270 threshold for victory.

    These steps in the election are often ignored formalities. But the hidden mechanics of electing a U.S. president have drawn new scrutiny this year as President Trump continues to deny Mr. Biden's victory and pursues increasingly specious legal strategies aimed at overturning the results before they are finalized.

    Although it's been apparent for weeks that Mr. Biden won the presidential election, his accrual of more than 270 electors is a key step toward the White House, said Edward B. Foley, a law professor at Ohio State University.

    "It is a legal milestone and the first milestone that has that status," Foley said. "Everything prior to that was premised on what we call projections."

    The electors named Friday will meet December 14, along with counterparts in each state, to formally vote for the next president. Most states have laws binding their electors to the winner of the popular vote in their state, measures that were upheld by a Supreme Court decision this year. There have been no suggestions that any of Mr. Biden's pledged electors would contemplate not voting for him.

    Results of the Electoral College vote are due to be received, and typically approved, by Congress on January 6. Although lawmakers can object to accepting the electors' votes, it would be almost impossible for Mr. Biden to be blocked at that point.

    The Democratic-controlled House and Republican-controlled Senate would both vote separately to resolve any disputes. One already has arisen from Pennsylvania, where 75 Republican lawmakers signed a statement on Friday urging Congress to block the state's electoral votes from being cast for Mr. Biden. But the state's Republican U.S. senator, Pat Toomey, said soon after that he would not be objecting to Pennsylvania's slate of electors, underscoring the difficulty in trying to change the election results through Congress.

    "As a practical matter, we know that Joe Biden is going to be inaugurated on January 20," Foley said.

    That was clear in the days after the election, when the count of mail ballots gradually showed that Mr. Biden had won victories in enough states to win the Electoral College. It became even more apparent in late November, when every swing state won by Mr. Biden certified him as the winner of its elections and appointed his electors to the Electoral College. Mr. Trump has fruitlessly tried to stop those states from certifying Mr. Biden as the winner and appointing electors for the former vice president.

    He made no such effort in deeply Democratic California, the most populous state in the nation. Three more states won by Mr. Biden — Colorado, Hawaii and New Jersey — have not yet certified their results. When they do, Mr. Biden will have 306 Electoral College votes to Trump's 232.

    Mr. Trump and his allies have brought at least 50 legal cases trying to overturn the results in the swing states Mr. Biden won — mainly Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. More than 30 have been rejected or dropped, according to an AP tally.

    Mr. Trump and his allies have also raised the far-fetched notion that Republican state legislatures in those states could appoint a rival set of electors pledged to Mr. Trump.

    But state Republican leaders have rejected that approach, and it would likely be futile in any case. According to federal law, both chambers of Congress would need to vote to accept a competing slate of electors. If they don't, the electors appointed by the states' governors — all pledged to Mr. Biden in these cases — must be used.

    The last remaining move to block the election would be the quixotic effort to vote down the electors in Congress.

    This tactic has been tried — a handful of congressional Democrats in 2000, 2004 and 2016 objected to officially making both George W. Bush and Mr. Trump president. But the numbers were not enough to block the two men from taking office.

    • Kamala Harris announces new staff picks, marking first time women will hold top 3 spots in VP’s office


    On Thursday, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris added three women to her roster of top aides, marking the first time in history that the top three positions in the U.S. vice president’s office will be held by women.

    Harris, who is the first woman, Black American and South Asian American to be elected VP, announced on Twitter that she was appointing Tina Flournoy as her chief of staff, Rohini Kosoglu as her domestic policy advisor and Nancy McEldowney as her national security advisor. Harris’ appointment of three women to top aide positions follows the announcement that Harris and President-elect Joe Biden will also have an all-female communications team, which ties in with Biden’s commitment to “building an administration that looks like America.”: Kamala Harris appoints all women to top 3 spots in VP office - https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/sta...01828218785793

    • Biden administration on track to be most LGBTQ-inclusive in U.S. history


    President-elect Joe Biden has repeatedly vowed to make LGBTQ rights a priority in his administration. But he won’t be working alone: The former vice president has already tapped LGBTQ appointees for several key roles and gay rights advocates are hopeful that more will be named, including the first out Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate. There’s also a push, should an opening become available, for him to nominate the first openly LGBTQ justice to the Supreme Court.

    The Biden-Harris transition team has promoted the president-elect's “commitment to building an administration that looks like America.”

    On Sunday, Karine Jean-Pierre, an out lesbian and chief of staff for Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, was announced as deputy press secretary, and Pili Tobar, an immigration rights advocate and former aide to Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was named deputy White House communications director. Tobar, a lesbian, also worked as a communications director for the Biden campaign.

    In November, Carlos Elizondo, who is gay and was Biden’s social secretary when Biden was vice president, was named White House social secretary.: https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...story-n1250010

    It is a landslide. But if you read the comments on various threads the trumpanzees don't just think the margin is wrong - they are convinced baldy orange loser won. The worst case of mass cognitive bias you have ever seen.

    So others (non US citizens) understand………

    The size of Joe Biden’s victory matters. And it is huge.

    Biden not only received a majority of the popular vote, but also cleared 51% — the largest vote percentage obtained against an incumbent president since 1932 and a bigger percentage of the popular vote than any Republican president since George H.W. Bush in 1988, when Bush was essentially running for a third Ronald Reagan term. In the process, Biden amassed the largest total number of ballots in U.S. history. He pummeled Trump by more than 7 million votes (and exceeded Barack Obama’s 2008 vote total by more than 11 million). That margin is bigger than Massachusetts’ entire population; in fact, only 14 states have a population of more than 7 million. Biden’s popular vote margin by percentage (4.4%) far surpasses Obama’s 2012 victory over Mitt Romney.

    Why is it important to emphasize the magnitude of Biden’s victory? Because, far from narrow, it represents the overwhelming verdict of the voters. If there is such a thing as a mandate, Biden has one. He has been explicit about the things he intends to do: preserve and expand Obamacare, pass child-care and sick-leave legislation, pursue police reform, push through a massive infrastructure bill and tackle climate change.

    In reality, little of which he can do unless the Dems can win both Georgia seats.

    ^ Yea, wot 'e sed.

    There aren't many coujtries with a population of 80 million, leat alone 350 million, so percentages would speak louder. That would include potential voters/turnout . . . and take into account population growth/numbers.

    Still - Biden kicked Trump's butt

    Trump lost by 3,000,000 votes in 2016, so add 7,000,000 more and that's a major loss for a winner. Slink off into the sunset you shithead.
