US President-elect Joe Biden is moving quickly to build his incoming administration and could name top leaders for his cabinet as early as next week. Mr Biden has told reporters he has already decided on who will lead the Treasury Department. And each day it gets worse, meaning a week ago, it wasn’t that big of a deal. At this point, Mr Biden is deeply involved in choosing his cabinet, a process described by one person as similar to fitting puzzle pieces together. In putting together the 15-person team, Mr Biden is facing demands from multiple, competing interests, as well as the political realities of navigating a closely divided Senate.
