Now that Kamala Harris has named her running mate (a choice that I support), she might fortify her commitment to mending the political divide in this country by placing a couple of well-respected, moderate Republicans in her Cabinet.
Such a bold move is called for in these perilous times when our Democracy is threatened by the prospect of a second Trump term. Demonstrating a willingness to go beyond "working with Republicans," such appointments would further marginalize the extreme Right Wing of that Party.
Policies and talking points may garner votes but courageous action is needed to end this era of perpetual sniping between Democrats and Republicans. I am personally confident that a significant majority of Americans do not want Trump to be reelected but the inclusion of moderate Republicans on Kamala Harris' executive team may finally squash the MAGA cult.
