susan rice as domestic policy advisor, what are we seeing so far about what his team will look like? splash when this announcement came in yesterday. >> yeah. i'll get to rice in a second. i think overall his cabinet picks to me are notably centrist and moderate with the possible exception of neera tanden as the budget chief. janet yellen as treasury secretary. she is a long way from elizabeth warren. lloyd austin, he will need a waiver but not somebody to the far left of the democratic party. this is a four star retired general. susan rice is a different matter and it is interesting to note. a couple of things striking about this. first of all, he has appointed her as his domestic policy -- the head of his domestic policy council. her experience to the best of my knowledge is overwhelmingly in foreign policy. she was on the nsc, a russia expert, the u.n. ambassador, national security advisor for barack obama. so it seems a little bit odd that she would be the domestic policy advisor and not in foreign policy. obviously she would have been a tough person to get through congress becaus

castro joins us live now from wilmington delaware and the appointment of susan rice as role is causing some controversy tell us more about the reaction that at this. that's right i mean it's more of an unexpected pick from president joe biden given as you mention susan rice's background is really in foreign policy that long resume serving in the obama white house this new role would not require senate confirmation it is for the domestic policy agenda and she would have a wide swath of responsibilities according the white house policy for health care for education for civil rights now president joe biden said that susan rice it was the right person for this job at the moment he said that she knows the government inside and out and of course she is a black woman helps fulfill his promise to surround himself with advisors who are racially diverse and that is a point we saw susan rice highlight herself saying that she is the descendant of not only in slave people but also immigrants which is a trend we are seeing as by then continues to reveal his cabinet team. thanks very much from wilmin

you have dennis mcdonough, susan rice, tony blinken, same with ron klain. seeing a lot of familiar faces pop up on personnel choices. >> talk about reinvention, susan rice, former state department official, former national security adviser in the obama white house, now to run the domestic policy council. take us inside that. number one, biden knows her and trusts her, i guess the national security adviser is a coordinator like the domestic policy adviser, but that one is interesting, too. >> reporter: that one really is interesting. clearly susan rice has been talked about for a high profile role in the biden administration should he win the white house, but the position she was tapped for was secretary of state, by drawing on foreign policy credentials she built up in the obama administration, but they signaled she would have a difficult confirmation fight should she be chosen, particularly if they control the senate after the georgia runoffs. it became clear that nomination perhaps wasn't one the biden white house team was willing to have and put her in t

of cabinet members let's go live now to wilmington delaware i did your castro can tell us more susan rice we hear is poised to be announced as domestic policy council directed today but that doesn't exactly come without controversy does it. that's right or nor with some surprises adrian because as you know susan rice has a long career in foreign policy she served as president obama's ambassador to the u.n. before becoming his national security advisor and it was it's reported that she had been in consideration by bided to perhaps be secretary of state but ultimately she was passed over due to concerns of a difficult confirmation process republicans have attacked susan rice along with hillary clinton over their perceived role in the benghazi attacks now with this appointment as the director of the national domestic policy council rice does not need senate confirmation and in this new role she would take on a slate of domestic policy issues everything from education to health care to civil rights the biden transition issuing a statement earlier saying that rice knows the government inside a
