Biden has made a mistake picking California AG Becerra for cabinet He lacks public health expertise and has too much troubling baggage. December 13, 2020 6:16pm Text size Copy shortlink:
President-elect Joe Biden s push for a diverse leadership team is welcome and smart.
But it is difficult to grasp why Biden has tapped California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to be secretary of health and human services. At a time when the nation faces its worst health crisis in more than a century, it is baffling that Biden would choose an HHS chief with no public health experience.
But concerns about Becerra should extend far beyond the fact that he doesn t have the appropriate background to lead the push against a pandemic that could end up killing a half-million Americans or more. As California s attorney general, he has been a sharp disappointment.
