U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds is questioning whether Kamala Harris is serious about picking a tried-and-true Republican for her Cabinet.
During her first TV interview as a presidential candidate, Harris said she was open to the idea of selecting a member of the opposition party to serve in her Cabinet. But Donalds, a Southwest Florida Republican and prominent surrogate for Donald Trump, said that wouldn’t be enough to prove a Harris administration would govern toward the middle.
“Yeah, you can have a Republican, a pseudo Republican, a RINO Republican. It doesn’t matter,” Donalds said on Fox News.
Donalds believes such an appointment is “not going to change the policies that she would implement.”
“If you look at her track record, if you look at what she has supported, it has always been these dangerously liberal progressive policies,” he said, using a modifier the Trump campaign embraces.
“Adam Kinzinger being in the Cabinet isn’t going to change that,” Donalds added, referring to a former member of Congress from Illinois who opposed Trump while he was in office.
Harris said Thursday that it would “be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who is a Republican.”
She was vague about who that could be, however, saying she had “no one in particular in mind” given that there are “68 days to go with this election.”
“So I’m not putting the cart before the horse. But I would. I think it’s really important,” Harris said on CNN Thursday night.
Donalds was considered as a potential running mate for the former President, but ultimately was passed over in that search. However, given his role as a staunch advocate for Trump, it’s conceivable that he could end up in the Cabinet himself if Republicans take the White House back in November’s General Election.

Harris is following Trump. She has no ideas of her own. She copied Trump’s ‘No tax on tips’, now she wants to follow Trump on installing a Republican, just like Trump welcomed Bobby Kennedy.

Tom Vilsack, former GOP governor of Iowa, has been Sec. of Ag for two Ds — Obama and (currently) Biden/Harris

Vilsack, BTW, knows his field and is widely respected outside of MAGA insiders.

Trust me Byron……. Kamala will never pick a Florida MAGA wingnut or an adorable Trump acolyte from any State to serve as a cabinet member. She will look for a candidate who has common decency, common sense and a human heart.

Yes to a “Republican” cabinet member or even an Independent or two- I’d love a federal government that mirrors the country’s diversity and varying belief systems Could we add, Dare I say it, an atheist? Well, maybe not yet, although there’s many still in the closet with that one.
Unfortunately, Byron has joined the “Trumplican” party as columnist Myra Adam’s refers to what has taken the place of the Grand Old Party. So sad.

Seemed apropos.
Dear Earl,
When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong. Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes, like a voice telling you there was something you should know. Last night you were flying but today you’re so low ain’t it times like these that make you wonder if you’ll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. Don’t you wish you didn’t function, wish you didn’t think beyond the next paycheck and the next little drink’ Well you do so make up your mind to go on, ‘cos when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.

Paul Passarelli for Energy. It seems like he’d be well-suited. Harris should consider him.

Kinzinger is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard, having served in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. He also served in Congress for 12 years. Besides being arrested twice, what has Byron Donalds done?

Kinzinger has gravitas and cojones. Secretary of Air Force?
NSC?

Hey Byron.. it certainly won’t be an insurrectionist, election denier, violence threatener, fantasy project 2025 supporter, evangelical spouting, hypocrite like you. Most likely there are still republicans with integrity and a conscience but we know it’s not you
