If either is selected, they would be the first black woman to occupy the White House press podium, one of the most visible jobs in the administration. The Biden campaign has pledged to put together an administration that reflects America’s diversity, and activists welcomed the potential press secretary choices, though a final announcement on filling the role isn’t expected until after this week. Mr Biden has said he’ll bring back the daily White House press briefing, which the Trump administration eliminated.
