Joe Biden's Cabinet-in-waiting: Meet the people in play for a new administration, who could fill key roles like secretaries of state and defense, COVID czar, and chief of staff

has been working behind the scenes for months crafting lists of names for top positions inside a potential Cabinet, his White House, and across the federal government.

Everything will become public soon enough, with the president-elect expected in the coming weeks to start announcing a series of nominations and appointments while working to fill more than 1,000 other key political jobs. Of course Biden may not get all the people he wants installed in their positions. As long as Senate Republicans maintain their majority, they hold veto power that can tank any nomination they want. Even a 50-50 Senate with Democrats in command — thanks to Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote — doesn't guarantee that all Biden's picks get confirmed.

Amid all the competing power dynamics, Insider has collected the names of the current and former elected officials, ex-Democratic administration officials, policy experts, advocates, and academics
