Time for America to reunite In his
first speech since his victory, Joe Biden said that the election had created a
clear division among the American people, but that it was time to
"reunite" by overcoming this internal political divide. At the same
time, Biden said that it would be a great honor for him to serve as President
of the United States.
Appointing a black
defense minister
According to US media, newly elected US President Joe Biden is going to
nominate retired Army General Lloyd Austin as Secretary of Defense. If that
happened then they would be the first blacks to lead the Pentagon.
On Monday, the American media reported that the newly elected US
President Joe Biden is going to nominate retired General Lloyd Austin for the
post of Secretary of Defense. If confirmed as Secretary of Defense, he would be
the first black American to lead the Pentagon. Biden has promised to represent
every community in the United States in his cabinet, and this is an important
step in that direction.
Lloyd Austin has been a military officer, and because a large segment of
the United States supports a clear distinction between the military and
civilian leadership in the Pentagon, it is more likely that Congress will
oppose the decision.
Nomination faces Rocket in Congress
It was expected that Michelle Flourney would take over as Secretary of
Defense this time, and for the first time, a woman would head the Pentagon.
However, in this race, Lloyd Austin has won against Michelle Flourney.
Any soldier legally serving in the army can be assigned to the Ministry
of Defense, but traditionally this has been very rare and so far only two
military officers have held the post. One of them is James Mattis, who worked
with President Trump as Secretary of Defense. By law, the appointment of a
civilian officer to the post is better than a military one, so Austin's
nomination would require congressional approval.
One of the conditions for former military officers to take over the
ministry of defense is that they have been in the military for at least seven
years, while Austin retired in 2016.
Great past record
Veteran General Lloyd Austin has served in the military for 41 years and
led coalition forces in Iraq during Obama's first term. Biden was a vice president
at the time.
He also became America's first black deputy military chief in 2012, the
second most important position in the US military. He was later assigned to the US
Central Command and fought under his leadership to defeat ISIS in Iraq and
Syria.
When Bush Sr. first invaded Iraq in 2003, Austin was an assistant
commander in the 3rd Infantry Division and played a key role. He also oversaw
the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq in 2011 but did not agree with the US
administration's decision.
Different types of cabinets
Newly elected US President Joe Biden promised a diverse cabinet that
would represent the entire American population. But in doing so, they will have
difficulty getting their nominees approved by the Senate, which currently has a
majority of Republicans.
He has already nominated a
woman, Linda Thomas Greenfield, for the post of US ambassador to the United
Nations, while CIA chief Orwell Heinz and Federal Reserve chief Janet Allen are
also women. If elected, Janet Allen will be the first female head of the
Treasury Department.
After Biden's victory,
President Trump and his campaign officials are not ready to accept the defeat
of the current president. A senior Trump campaign official said, "The campaign is not over yet." It was also said that a lawsuit would be filed
on Monday, November 9, at Trump's behest. Will be given
It remains to be seen
whether Biden succeeds in his commitment. However, his commitment suggests that
it is time for America to reunite. It has very bright prospects.
According to Biden, "now is the time to restore America's honor and
dignity around the world." After Democratic candidate Biden's victory was
assured, supporters in various US cities began celebrating.
