COLUMBIA, S.C. — House majority whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said president-elect Joe Biden has fallen short when electing African Americans to top posts, according to reports.
Democratic officials say Clyburn has been a big backer for Biden and even credit Clyburn for helping Biden in the Palmetto State.
According to reports, Clyburn agreed with Biden's pick of Linda Thomas-Greenfield to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Thomas-Greenfield is currently the only Black woman pick among the cabinet seats so far.
Biden is currently in the process of building his cabinet. He has appointed the following positions:
Secretary of State - Antony Blinken
Secretary of Homeland Security - Alejandro Mayorkas
Chief of Staff - Ron Klain
National Intelligence Director - Avril Haines
National Security Adviser - Jake Sullivan
UN Ambassador - Linda Thomas-Greenfield
Special Presidential Envoy for Climate - John Kerry
