On the other hand, AOC admits the left-wing has no real plan to replace them and that she doesn t want to step up and do the job herself.

Biden Picks Deb Haaland For Interior Secretary
The congresswoman from New Mexico would make history as the first Native American to serve as the top steward of America s public lands and waters.
By Chris D Angelo and Jennifer Bendery
President-elect Joe Biden plans to nominate Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.), an enrolled member of the Pueblo of Laguna tribe, to serve as secretary of the interior.
In 2018, Haaland, 60, became one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress. If the Senate confirms her as head of the Interior Department, she would make similar history as the first Native American Cabinet secretary and the first Native American to serve as the top steward of America’s public lands and natural resources.
