在总统大选中获胜的拜登已在组建他的内阁,并计划于周二公布全部提名人选。现在,这位前任副总统已向公众透露了他的一些选择,各路新闻媒体也纷纷报道了其他可能人选。
拜登面临着同时取悦进步派和中间派的压力,并需要通过可能仍由共和党控制的参议院做出选择。拜登的团队选择了卡玛拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)担任副总统——美国历史上第一位女性、黑人和印度裔副总统,而这也是他们时刻提醒自己注意性别与种族多样性的结果。
在拜登已经公布的人选中,财政部和国防部都将迎来各自历史上的第一位女性领导者。
以下是目前有望加入拜登内阁的“铁娘子”们。
国防部长米歇尔·弗卢努瓦
米歇尔·弗卢努瓦可能被拜登任命为国防部长。这位奥巴马总统任期内的前国防部副部长将成为五角大楼的第一位女性领导人。据称,如果希拉里·克林顿赢得了2016年的大选,她可能在那时就成为内阁的候选人。
弗卢努瓦是五角大楼的元老级人物,于1990年代克林顿总统任职期间首次在该机构任职。她的政治立场被视为较温和的中间派,没有在军队中服过役。
国家情报总监艾薇儿·海恩斯
拜登的政府交接团队周一宣布,他将选择艾薇儿·海恩斯担任国家情报总监。据报道,海恩斯曾被考虑担任中央情报局(CIA)的领导——这和她的新职位息息相关。
海恩斯将是第一位担任该职位的女性,同时将成为情报界中级别最高的女性。她曾任中情局的副局长。
美国驻联合国大使琳达·托马斯·格林菲尔德
拜登选择的美国驻联合国大使是拥有35年外交经验的琳达·托马斯·格林菲尔德。
他的团队周一宣布了这一人选。特朗普在担任总统期间,将这一职位降级,而拜登上台后,也有望将该职位恢复到内阁级别。
托马斯·格林菲尔德曾在奥巴马政府的领导下担任美国驻利比里亚大使和非洲事务部副部长。
在过去的35年中,我很荣幸地与世界各地的领导人建立了联系。作为美国驻联合国大使,我将努力恢复美国在世界上的地位,并修复我们与盟友的关系。祝福这个机会。

财政部长珍妮特·耶伦
据《华尔街日报》报道,拜登将提名前美联储主席珍妮特·耶伦作为财政部长的人选。
耶伦是美联储的第一位女性领导人。她也将成为第一位掌管财政部的女性,并由此成为第一位同时掌管财政部,中央银行和白宫经济顾问委员会的人。
这一职位有一众声名显赫的候选人,包括美联储理事莱尔·布雷纳德和参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦在内,而之所以选择耶伦,也是认为她能同时迎合中间派和进步派民主党人的口味。(财富中文网)

President-elect Joe Biden is assembling his Cabinet, and is expected to announce his full set of nominations on Tuesday. In the meantime, the former vice president has already revealed some of his choices to the public, and various news outlets have reported on other likely picks.
Biden faces pressure to please both progressive and moderates—and to get his choices through a potential GOP-controlled Senate. The Biden team, which made history with the election of Vice President Kamala Harris as the first female, first Black, and first Indian-American veep, is also keeping gender and racial diversity in mind.
Two of Biden's reported choices would see women run agencies that have never before had a female leader: Treasury and Defense.
These are the women who are so far expected to join Biden's Cabinet. This story will be updated with further announcements.
Michele Flournoy is President-elect Biden's reported choice to head the Pentagon.
Michèle Flournoy, Secretary of Defense
Michèle Flournoy is Biden's likely pick as secretary of defense. The former under secretary of defense for policy under President Obama would be the first woman to head the Pentagon; she was said to be a likely candidate for Hillary Clinton's Cabinet if she had won the 2016 election.
Flournoy is a Pentagon veteran who first served in the body in the 1990s under President Clinton. She's known as a political moderate and has not served in the military.
Biden chose Avril Haines as his nominee for director of national intelligence.
Avril Haines, director of national intelligence
Biden's transition team announced on Monday that he would choose Avril Haines as his director of national intelligence. Haines had also reportedly been under consideration to lead the CIA—a position that reports in to this one.
Haines would be the first woman to hold this role and would be the highest-ranking woman in the intelligence community. She is a former deputy director of the CIA.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield is Biden's pick to be the U.S. ambassador to the UN.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the UN
Biden's pick to represent the United States at the United Nations is Linda Thomas-Greenfield, a 35-year diplomatic veteran. His team announced the choice on Monday. The President-elect is also expected to restore the position to Cabinet-level after President Trump downgraded it.
Thomas-Greenfield has served as U.S. ambassador to Liberia and assistant secretary of state for African affairs under the Obama administration.
I’ve had the privilege to build relationships with leaders around the world for the past thirty-five years. As U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, I’ll work to restore America’s standing in the world and renew relationships with our allies. Blessed for this opportunity.

The President-elect has reportedly chosen former Fed chair Janet Yellen as his nominee for treasury secretary.
Janet Yellen, Treasury Secretary
The Wall Street Journal reports that Biden will name former Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen as his nominee for treasury secretary.
Yellen was the first woman to lead the Fed; she would be the first woman to head the Treasury and the first person to have run the Treasury, the central bank, and the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
Yellen was chosen from a field that included Fed governor Lael Brainard and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. She is seen as a choice that appeals to both moderate and progressive Democrats.
