OUR TWO REPUBLICAN PARTIES:
Biden makes experience a priority with his Cabinet picks (JONATHAN LEMIRE, 11/25/20, AP)
Competence is making a comeback.US President-elect Joe Biden has prized staying power over star power when making his first wave of Cabinet picks and choices for White House staff, with a premium placed on government experience and proficiency as he looks to rebuild a depleted and demoralized federal bureaucracy.With an eye in part toward making selections who may have to seek approval from a Republican-controlled Senate, Biden has prioritized choosing qualified professionals while eschewing flashy names. Even the most recognizable pick -- John Kerry -- lacks the showmanship that has defined the Trump era.
