Biden Names Policy Advisory Board

Former VP Joe Biden today named the members of the Biden Institute Policy Advisory Board. The list includes: Managing Partner & Founder, Related Infrastructure and former Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx; Chief Legal Officer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and former Assistant to the President, Cabinet Secretary, and a Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama, Danielle Gray; President of the United Farm Workers of America Arturo S. Rodríguez; Founding Principal, Gupta Wessler PLCC and former Senior Counsel at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Deepak Gupta; Former Surgeon General of the United States Dr. Vivek Murthy; and other big names. The Biden Institute, established at the University of Delaware's School of Public Policy and Administration, is an intellectual center and destination for scholars, activists, policymakers, and national leaders aiming to influence, shape, and work to solve the most pressing domestic policy problems facing America. Biden announces the new advisory board on the heel of laying out a three-part vision, "A Plan to Put Work — and Workers — First," which he says is aimed at restoring the basic bargain we used to have in this country. All these things sound like a 2020 plan. He’s already in a Twitter beef with Donald Trump. Biden said yesterday he would take Trump "behind the gym" and "beat the hell out of him" if they were in high school over the President's crude comments about women. Trump responded via Twitter, “He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way.” Back to the issue at hand. Here’s a look at the full list of Biden’s newly named Policy Advisory Board.
