The Democratic front-runner also said during a virtual fundraiser that he could easily pick out his cabinet in 15 minutes if he was pressured to.
In response to a question about how best to reassure voters about his age, Biden, 77, told the reported 118 donors on the virtual call that he would “build a bench of younger, really qualified people” to fill his cabinet so that they “have an opportunity to rise up” in politics.
“I can think of, if I had to, if Lord Almighty came down and said ‘you’re president tomorrow, write down in the next 15 minutes your cabinet,’ I think I could do it,” he said. Although this is the first time Biden has discussed the model of his cabinet with this much detail, he reiterated his commitment to picking an administration that as he has often described “looks like America” because he believes that different backgrounds “brings a slightly different perspective” to the negotiating table.
Biden has mentioned Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Stacey Abrams among others as potential women he’d consider to be his vice president.
