Biden to nominate Janice Yellen for Sec of Treasury
2020-11-23
[NationalReview] President-elect Joe Biden is set to tap former Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen for Treasury secretary in his administration, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday...

Democrats hope some members of the Senate’s Republican majority will vote to confirm Yellen, a less insane progressive choice than other names that were floated for the position, including Senator Elizabeth Warren
[fwiw - if Senator Warren accepted a cabinet post, the vacancy would be filled by Gov Baker, a nominal Republican)


Yellen is unlikely to endorse wacko ideas (e.g., stop fracking, cancel all college debt) but is also unlikely to publically oppose them.
