Summary Cabinet of Joe BidenMembers of the Cabinet of the United States in the Biden Administration will assume office after the President-elect is inaugurated on January 20, 2021. The vice presidency is exceptional in that the position requires election to office pursuant to the U.S. Constitution. Non-cabinet members within the Executive Office of the President, such as White House Chief of Staff, and White House Press Secretary, do not hold constitutionally created positions and most do not require Senate confirmation for appointment. Members of the cabinet and cabinet-level officials, meet with the president in a room adjacent to the Oval Office. The first Biden cabinet appointee is White House chief of staff Ron Klain.

Biden reportedly offered New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham Secretary of the Interior, but she turned it down. The nomination of a Secretary-designate is reviewed during hearings held by the members of the Foreign Relations committee, then presented to the full Senate for a vote. Biden plans to elevate the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors to be a Cabinet-level position in early 2021. He has promised to have the position of Ambassador to the United Nations be a cabinet- level position. The position of Special Presidential Envoy for Climate will be a position of Cabinet level.
