Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said he is putting together a transition team as he eyes winning the White House in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cI promise you that has already begun,\u201d Biden said during a virtual fundraiser on Thursday night. \u201cSounds presumptuous. I dont want to say we started thinking about it a month ago\u2014we did\u2014because that sounds like I was certain this was going to happen that I would be the nominee. I dont want it to sound like that, but it has to happen and thats why the transition team is already being put together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden declined to say who is leading the selection of the transition but vowed that any members will be \u201cfirst rate.\u201d Biden did not rule out announcing some people he plans to name to his cabinet in the event he beats President Donald Trump, the Republican who is running for reelection.<\/p>\n

The transition team will look into potentially moving some positions to the cabinet level, including the Office of Science and Technology, the global health security pandemic office, and a potential climate change-focused role that doesnt exist right now.<\/p>\n

Biden said his ideal cabinet \u201clooks like America\u201d and reiterated his desire for a female vice president.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Lord Almighty said: Joe, I tell you what. You have to decide in three hours what your cabinet is or youre going to be bounced out of the race, I could write down who could be in the cabinet,\u201d Biden told attendees and reporters. \u201cThere are at least two or three people qualified for every one of those positions.\u201d<\/p>\n

His long history in politics has brought him into contact with people in the private sector and in the public sector. Several hundred people who held positions in prior administrations, including some Republicans, have said that theyd be ready to join the Biden administration if the former vice president wins, Biden said.<\/p>\n

Biden held two virtual fundraisers from his home in Wilmington, Delaware, on Thursday, including one hosted by Jed Katz, managing director of Javelin Partners. At the earlier one, hosted by Gene Ludwig, founder and CEO of Promontory Financial Group, and his wife, neurologist Dr. Carol Ludwig, Biden said hes raised over $5 million in two days, attributing the money to former rivals who have endorsed him.<\/p>\n

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) are the last two Democratic presidential candidates to leave the race and endorse Biden.<\/p>\n

\u201cWere raising more money than we ever raised because theyre going out to their people and saying, Its time to give your five bucks,'\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who endorsed Biden this week, spoke with Biden on Wednesday. Biden said the Democratic Party has never been united like it is now.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheyve united in a way, I dont think, we have ever fully united before, because they know the alternative,\u201d he said. His former rivals \u201csay very nice things about me. I think they mean it, they give me more credit than I deserve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Attack on Trumps Base<\/h2>\n

Biden launched an attack during a Wednesday viral fundraiser on some of Trumps voters, drawing links to Hillary Clintons infamous \u201cbasket of deplorables\u201d in 2016.<\/p>\n

An attendee asked Biden if he could win over supporters of the president. \u201cProbably not,\u201d Biden replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people who support the president because they like the fact that he is engaged in the politics of division,\u201d Biden said<\/a>. \u201cThey really support the notion that, you know, all Mexicans are rapists and all Muslims are bad and\u2026 dividing this nation based on ethnicity, race. This is the one of the few presidents who succeeded by deliberately trying to divide the country, not unite the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trumps campaign drew a connection to Clintons past comments, saying in a statement: \u201cHillary Clinton in 2016 openly smeared white, working class Trump voters as deplorables. Four years later, Joe Biden is picking up where Hillary left off.\u201d<\/p>\n

The campaign hit Biden over his remarks<\/a> about blue-collar jobs and his plan<\/a> to make so-called assault weapons illegal.<\/p>\n
