(CN) President-elect Joe Biden announced more members of his administration Thursday morning, including Susan Rice to lead the Domestic Policy Council and Denis McDonough for secretary of veterans affairs.
Both Rice and McDonough are Obama administration alums who have worked alongside Biden for years.
Before finding herself this year on Biden’s short list as a potential running mate, Rice had served under Obama first as U.N. ambassador and then as his national security adviser.
“Rice is among our nation’s most senior and experienced government leaders with the skills to harness the power of the federal government to serve the American people,” Biden said in a press release.
