President-elect Biden should order background checks on every potential Cabinet member proposed by former President Trump to weed out any unqualified or dangerous picks. This is especially important in light of Trump’s history of appointing controversial and unqualified individuals to high-level positions.
A thorough background check would include a review of the individual’s criminal history, financial records, and any potential conflicts of interest. It would also include a review of the individual’s experience and qualifications for the position they are being considered for.
By ordering background checks on Trump’s Cabinet picks, Biden would be taking a prudent step to ensure that only the most qualified and ethical individuals are appointed to positions of power.
