President-elect Joe Biden is working on assembling his cabinet and will announce his first picks to lead cabinet agencies before Thanksgiving.
During an appearance on ABCâs âThis Week,â Bidenâs chief of staff, Ron Klain, was asked if the former vice president would announce who he had picked to serve as his attorney general, secretary of state, or Treasury secretary.
âWhat I can confirm is that youâre going to see the first of the president-electâs cabinet appointments on Tuesday of this week,â Klain said, adding, âMeeting the pace, beating in fact, the pace that was set by the Obama-Biden transition. Beating the pace set by the Trump transition.â
He continued, âSo youâre going to see the first cabinet picks this Tuesday. But, if you want to know what cabinet agencies they are, or whoâs going to be in those cabinet agencies, youâll have to wait for the president-elect to say that himself on Tuesday.â

Biden told reporters on Thursday that he had decided who he would appoint to lead the Department of the Treasury, as IJR reported.
During a press conference, he said, âYouâll soon hear my choice for Treasury. Weâve made that decision. And youâll hear that either just before or just after Thanksgiving.â
âAnd youâll find it is someone who I think will be accepted by all elements of the Democratic Party, from the progressive to the moderate coalitions,â he added.
