Members of the Cabinet of the United States in the Biden administration will assume office after the President-elect is inaugurated on January 20, 2021, and after confirmation by the United States Senate. President-elect Joe Biden's presidential transition team has been vetting numerous candidates, including Republicans.[1][2]
Announced Cabinet positions
All members of the Cabinet of the United States require the advice and consent of the United States Senate following appointment by the president before taking office. The vice presidency is exceptional in that the position requires election to office pursuant to the United States Constitution. Although some are afforded cabinet-level rank, non-cabinet members within the Executive Office of the President, such as White House chief of staff, do not hold constitutionally created positions and most do not require Senate confirmation for appointment.
The following have been named as Cabinet appointees by the President-elect of the United States.

Nominated candidates for Cabinet-level positions
Cabinet-level officials have positions that are considered to be of Cabinet level, but which are not part of the Cabinet. Which exact positions are considered part of the presidential cabinet can vary with the president. The CIA and FEMA were cabinet-level agencies under Bill Clinton, but not George W. Bush. The head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, also known as the drug czar, was a cabinet-level position under both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, but not under Barack Obama. It is not to be confused with the head of the DEA, who has remained in the org chart underneath the cabinet position held by the Attorney General. Members of the cabinet and cabinet-level officials, meet with the president in a room adjacent to the Oval Office.
White House Chief of Staff
The White House chief of staff has traditionally been the highest-ranking employee of the White House. The responsibilities of the chief of staff are both managerial and advisory over the president's official business. The chief of staff is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the president; it does not require Senate confirmation. The first Cabinet or Cabinet-level position appointee announced by Biden was White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain.[13]

Diversity
Early on in the transition, President-elect Biden promised to have a cabinet of diversity saying, "I'm not going to tell you now exactly what I'm doing in any department, but I promise you, it'll be the single most diverse cabinet, based on race, color, based on gender, that's ever existed in the United States of America." As cabinet members were announced during November and early December, some criticized the selections as not as diverse as promised, including the number of black and LGBT nominees. [15][16] Some have also made note that a number of the Cabinet choices so far have been ethnically Jewish: Blinken, Haines, Klain, Mayorkas, Yellen, and Kerry.[17][18][19]
The below charts represent the diversity of the Cabinet selections:
