Astute quote from Jen Rubin:

"It's as if [the Biden Administration and Democrats] think it gauche to brag. Biden's comments about not putting his name on the stimulus checks was telling. I've suggested a shadow cabinet to help with this problem, but really every governor, every Democrat in office, needs to constantly remind voters what specifically he or she is doing to improve the lives of ordinary Americans. Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin did this – and won!"

– Jennifer Rubin, in response to Q&A in today’s WaPo

I’ve thought the shadow cabinet was a good idea. It new, creative and, for this country, innovative. Which is precisely why it will get nowhere with the Democratic leadership in congress.

Even without the Shadow Cabinet being formalized, Democrats who are articulate and experts in specific fields can significantly increase the noise they make in the news media. Moreover, this sets them up as go-to people when alternative expert opinions are sought.
