I'm not expecting Biden to appoint anyone in the US House to the administration... though Andy Levin seems to be a favorite for Secretary of Labor especially from the unions.

President-elect Joe Biden is considering TIAA CEO Roger Ferguson to be his National Economic Council director and former Commodity Futures Trading Commission chairman Gary Gensler as Deputy Treasury Secretary, according to people familiar with the matter.

Ferguson was being considered for Treasury secretary and Gensler is currently a team leader of Biden’s transition agency review team. Gensler is leading a team reviewing the Federal Reserve and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, among others. Biden is set to select former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen as Treasury secretary.


Ferguson recently announced he intends to retire from TIAA in March.

Another name being floated for a top economic policy post is Kenneth Chenault, the former CEO of American Express, these people added. They declined to be named as these deliberations have been made in private.

Biden’s advisors recently said they will be announcing additions to their economic team early next week.

A spokesperson for the Biden transition team did not return a request for comment.

Both Ferguson and Chenault have clear ties to Wall Street, as well as Silicon Valley.


Chenault joined the Airbnb board in 2018, and he said he would leave Facebook’s board in March. Ferguson is on the board of Alphabet.

Thom is making the argument that Kamala, being the President of the Senate since she will be VP, can go on to the floor of the Senate and tell Mitch, sorry, I'm the President of the Senate, let's vote on this or that.

It would be a good idea but I know that Biden is too much of an institutionalist to try this.

Concerned about the possibility of a second coronavirus-induced economic downturn, President-elect Joe Biden is privately pushing top Democrats to compromise with Senate Republicans on a stimulus bill even as he publicly calls for Congress to approve the House-passed HEROES Act, Politico and the New York Times report, though a Biden spokesperson pushed back on the reports Monday.
