President-elect Joe Biden is leaning towards nominating former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack to lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture, four people familiar with his transition told Politico.
Vilsack, who was the agriculture secretary under President Barack Obama, served as an advisor on rural and agriculture issues throughout Biden’s campaign. Though the decision is not final, Politico reported, his selection could frustrate some in the Democratic party, who have pushed for a candidate of color to fill the post.
