Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge is making her case for Agriculture secretary, arguing she’s best positioned to take on a cabinet post that has never gone to an African American woman. It's a move that sets up a battle with former North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, long seen as the frontrunner for the post in the Biden administration. In her first public remarks about her interest, Fudge told POLITICO on Wednesday that as an African American woman, she represents a crucial segment of the electorate that helped fuel President-elect Joe Biden's victory over President Donald Trump. “When you look at

Hey, kids! Let's play presidential administration! Joey can be pres, and Heels Up can be the VP. We don't want any underage hanky-panky going on like with BJ and Monica. Hillary! gets Secretary of State, just because. Who wants Ag Secretary?

The slim majority in the House might be an obstacle to appointing congresswymen to administration positions.

#6 - Thanks. I didn't catch the modifier; been hearing her name for so many years that I figured she was another lifelong resident of the Hill.

"Fudge said she did have the backing of some agricultural groups and “certainly have the backing of most of the feeding programs,” as well as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or HBCUs.
“I do believe that because of my work with some of the other ag groups, my being from Ohio — where ag is huge — I think [winning support] is not going to be a problem,” Fudge said."
Wow, supported by Black Colleges and being from OHIO. !! That's good enough for me..LMAO
The dumbest SOB ever to get to the White House will surround himself with a bunch of barely literate blacks. This will be more fun than a barrel of monkeys..

Do not forget the Ag dept is primarily the facilitator for Food Stamps/EBT not nearly as much for actual agricultural functions.

If Biden does steal it, the Democrat infighting will get very bloody. I hope it does.
