US President-elect Joe Biden has announced the appointment of Governor Gina Lemond, who has been promoting economic development in eastern Rhode Island, as the Secretary of Commerce, who will play an important role in the high-tech competition with China. The administration has generally solidified.
On the 7th, President-elect Biden announced the appointment of new post ministers in the economic field.
Among them, the Secretary of Commerce will be Gina Lemond, the governor of the eastern Rhode Island state, who has promoted infrastructure investment and SME development.
The Secretary of Commerce will also play an important role in strengthening the competitiveness of the high-tech sector, which is becoming fierce with China.
In addition, Martin Walsh, who is from the labor union and is currently the mayor of Boston, will be appointed as the Secretary of Labor, and will improve the employment environment that is deteriorating due to the effects of the new coronavirus.
With this, the main posts have been completed and the new administration has been largely solidified toward the inauguration of President-elect Biden on the 20th of this month.
Ministerial appointments require parliamentary Senate approval, but Georgia's final vote will ensure that the Democratic Party is a de facto majority, which is likely to be a positive factor for President-elect Biden.
