Most of us are ready to welcome a new team in Washington to run our huge government. But how much change will President Joe Biden bring with him?
Without question, this will be the most diverse collection of Cabinet members ever been assembled by a new president. Biden's aim resembles that of President Franklin Roosevelt, who in 1933 put together a wide range of political groups that he expected to give his Democratic Party control of the presidency for many years. In fact, he and his successor, Harry Truman, occupied the Oval Office for the next 20 years.
