Congressman Cedric Richmond - Louisiana
Louisiana Representative Cedric Richmond who was just re-elected for his six-term to Congress is a co-chair on President-Elect Joe Biden’s campaign team. Political Analyst Clancy Dubos says Richmond’s close friendship with the former Vice President could parlay into an appointment.
“Well he certainly would be someone who could be considered for a White House post and possibly cabinet, it depends on what the offer is,” said Dubos.
Clancy says Richmond could be presented with several options to serve President-elect Biden, like Senior Policy Director on the domestic front or…
“The Head of the Office of Homeland Security, or say the Director of FEMA, as compared to say the Postmaster General. It really depends on which job he gets, in terms of what he could bring to Louisiana,” said Dubos.
Dubos says another possibility for the New Orleans native could be an appointment as a trade representative.
“Something like a trade representative could be tremendously beneficial to Louisiana because of our ports, the Port of New Orleans, the Port of South Louisiana, all of our ports. That would be a tremendous asset for our state,” said Dubos.
If Richmond is appointed a special election will be held to fill the 2nd Congressional Seat.
