In the Biden Administration, a Mighty Female Force Will Be Leading the Country

As we celebrate the inauguration of the first female Vice President, let's also give a Huzzah! for the record number of women who will be serving in this administration.

During the campaign, Joe Biden said many times that his administration would look like America. Since his election, he has nominated five women for the 15 top Cabinet positions, which comes out to one-third. Though this is a record number of women, it certainly doesn't look like America, where we represent more than half the population. But if you count all of his appointments so far--53 of them--then the percentage is far closer to the goal. To date, 49 percent of these posts are going to women, which shows how deep the bench is with truly accomplished women in an array of fields.

And let's not forget that Kamala Harris will be at the top of the heap helping Joe Biden govern.
