Biden’s Commerce Secretary Is A Former Venture Capitalist, But Some GOPers Warn She’ll Be ‘Soft On China’

Gina Raimondo has won Senate confirmation to be President Joe Biden’s commerce secretary by an 84 to 15 vote. She resigned from her most recent position as governor of Rhode Island on Tuesday evening.

Democratic Lt. Gov. Daniel J. McKee was sworn in as governor shortly after Raimondo stepped down. He will serve the remaining 22 months of Raimondo’s gubernatorial term.
