Doug Jones as Biden's attorney general? What oddsmakers have to say

Oddsmakers have projected favorites for three Cabinet positions as President-elect Joe Biden plans to announce picks this week.

Biden is set to to name multiple Cabinet choices Tuesday, senior adviser Symone Sanders said Sunday on “Face the Nation.” The Biden-Harris transition team on Monday announced several key foreign policy and national security picks, including Antony Blinken for secretary of state.

Biden picked Alejandro Mayorkas for Secretary of Homeland Security. He is the first Latino and first immigrant to be nominated for the position. He also picked Avril Haines for Director of National Intelligence. She would be the first woman to lead the intelligence community.

The announcements come as the Biden-Harris transition team has been assembling White House staff and moving forward with the transfer of power process as the president-elect prepares to take office on Jan. 20, 2021. Biden’s Cabinet nominees will need to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

We need a leader as AG. That is one position that should not be a consolation prize. Jones needs to move out of Alabama to succeed.
