Ilhan Omar: Progressives Ready to Fill Biden’s Cabinet, Force Him to - “Act Accordingly” Posted: Oct 30th, 2020 - 2:10 am
Rep. Ilhan Omar, in an interview with Axios, said that progressives are waiting to fill Joe Biden’s cabinet and will push him to “act accordingly” on several policies including banning fracking.
Omar’s comments are another in a long string from members of the ‘Squad’ – a more radical faction in the Democrat party – that they intend to push Biden to do their bidding should he win the election.

She then ticked off a litany of policies that other Democrat presidential candidates supported but were seemingly too much for voters to swallow as they shifted towards Biden.
“A president is only as successful as his collaboration is with Congress,” Omar explained.
“And we will have a cohort of progressives that are very clear about their objectives for wanting the implementation of, you know, Medicare For All and a Green New Deal and raising the minimum wage and not allowing for fracking,” she continued.
