Of course, there are far worse Democrat Governors.


At least we don't have Gavin Newsom's neo-feudalism:

Not yet anyway...

And now, right on cue, the Corporate Democrat-Donor Media Conglomerate is already applying their selective editing to this story:

Yep. Don’t be fooled. Examine the sources very closely. Spoiler: don’t expect to find any Pulitzer prize winners. LOL.

Axios is a dependable source, but count me as still a skeptic for any cabinet position. Not sure what her Commerce credentials are to make her a "leading" candidate.

This has actually been one of President-elect Biden's most difficult decisions. Where to put this woman where she can't do for the country, what she's done for Rhode Island. How many sleepless nights do you suppose that this poor man has endured?

Sources have confirmed that it's either commerce or spare driver in the motor pool.

President-elect Joe Biden is "set to tap" Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo as his commerce secretary, according to The New York Times.

Times reporter Jonathan Martin reported the news in a tweet, attributing the information to a Democrat familiar with the pick.

There has been no response yet from Raimondo, who is due to emerge from the quarantine she has been in since an exposure to someone infected with COVID-19.

The tweet was followed by a New York Times story headlined: "Biden Picks Rhode Island Governor for Commerce Secretary."

The story began: "President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. is expected to announce Gina M. Raimondo, the governor of Rhode Island, as his commerce secretary, a key economic position given the agency’s critical role in everything from technology policy to climate change to promoting American industry, according to a person familiar with the decision."
