New York (CNN Business) The US election is still more than a week away, but speculation about who might lead the Treasury Department under a Biden administration is already in full swing. A spokesperson for the Biden Transition team told CNN Business that they are "not making any personnel decisions pre-election." "In terms of sheer experience, Brainard has punched all the tickets. "For the Wall Street allies of the Biden campaign, Brainard is ideal. As a career scholar and public official, she would presumably be less of a lightning rod for progressive critics than a Wall Street figure," Kuttner added.
