Thick packets have been delivered regularly to President-elect Joe Biden s Wilmington, Del., home, providing meticulous details on each potential Cabinet member s strengths, weaknesses and possible areas of conflict. Biden has been conducting virtual interviews with final candidates, focusing on their values and life stories nearly as much as their approach to the departments they would lead.
He has made Vice President-elect Kamala Harris perhaps his closest partner in the Cabinet-selection effort; she has interviewed each candidate separately and traded notes with Biden afterward in what people close to the transition say has been an important step in deepening their working relationship

The TRO is denied: U.S. District Court Judge Richard A. Jones definitively denied the request for a temporary restraining order to stop the city from sweeping Cal Anderson Park. In his ruling, Jones focused on the weakness of the plaintiff Ada Yaeger s arguments. Yaeger, a homeless woman, argued that past sweeps violated her First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Jones did not see enough evidence to back up those claims. On the other hand, he wrote that the city s case was solid that sweeping the park was a matter of public health and safety. However, he did include an aside that the City’s timing is regrettable clearing the park during the winter season during a pandemic.
