Biden declines to rule out appointing political donors to ambassadorships or other posts
DECORAH, Iowa — Joe Biden declined Friday to rule out appointing political donors to ambassadorships or other posts if he wins the 2020 presidential election. But he pledged that his nominees, regardless of their contributor status, would be the “best people” for their posts.
Still, he added, “you have some of the people out there ... that are fully qualified to head up everything from being the ambassador to NATO to be ambassador to France ... who may or may not have contributed.” But he insisted those contributions “would not be any basis” for his decision. Warren, Biden and Sanders have helped the DNC raise money this cycle, but Biden, especially, has gotten scrutiny from progressives as a candidate tied to the traditional monied establishment. As late as Friday, Sanders sent his grassroots email list a fundraising appeal noting that a super political action committee backing Biden had just launched a $500,000-plus ad buy in Iowa.
