#Trump saw more turnover in his #Cabinet than any other recent president, & it’s not even close. #POTUS#Biden, on the other hand, has had relatively little change in his admin’s top roles so far.
As Trump & Biden barrel toward a fall rematch, The WaPo is examining the numbers behind their time as president. In this case, we reviewed how they ran the vast #ExecutiveBranch of govt through the lens of the #stability of their Cabinets.
@Nonilex Maddow used to have a whole board of all the Trump people who left (or had to leave) the administration. It quickly filled several panels behind her, it was so massive.
The Cabinet consists of the leaders of the 15 major executive depts — think #Defense, #State, #Justice — as well as additional snr ofcls. These can include the #EPA admin & #SmallBusiness Admin chief, ambassador to the #UN & US #trade rep. The VP & the WH #ChiefOfStaff, who are not #Senate-confirmed appointments, are also in the Cabinet.
About ¾ of #Trump’s initial Cabinet picks were GONE by the end of his 4 yrs in office, while only a handful have left #Biden’s almost 3½ yrs in.
