Harris says she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if elected
www.nbcnews.com
In a clip of a CNN interview scheduled to air in full Thursday night, Harris said she was committed to welcoming diverse points of view.

“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

    People freaking out about this are forgetting that Biden did the same thing, and it turned out well. He pulled several Republicans out of elected office and put them in jobs they were legitimately qualified for, without giving them power to directly shape policy.

      List some.

      Biden has no Republican cabinet members (notably not a position “without power to directly shape policy”). The only Republican appointments I can think of were Powell (bad choice, already in the position) and Wray (also bad choice, already in the position).
