Four dozen liberal groups are pressuring Joe Biden to publicly commit to not appointing certain people with recent private sector industry experience to his transition team or his administration to avoid 'conflicts of interest'

, particularly on issues involving ethics and ties to private industry. Warren, who is under consideration to be vice president, did not respond for comment when asked whether she supports the current letter. A top Warren adviser, Julie Siegel, is serving on Biden's transition team.

“Too often, the teams crafting incoming administrations have been stacked with figures who work for corporate interests, undermining the frameworks that make way for collective prosperity,” the signees wrote. “Unsurprisingly, the resultant administrations overwhelmingly reflect this inherent conflict of interest.”

The signees also sent the letter to the Trump campaign. Spokesperson Courtney Parella did not did not address its demands but argued that “Biden has been the king of corruption for years with his family cashing in on his positions in public office,”. “If Joe Biden were in the White House, it would be more of the same corruption we have seen for decades.”
