President-elect Joe Biden has named an all-female senior communications team for his upcoming administration. More than half of the seven positions will be filled by women of color. The choices are part of Biden’s effort to create an administration that, in his words, “actually looks like America.” Biden’s campaign communications director, Kate Bedingfield, will serve as the White House communications director. She served in a similar position for Biden when he was vice president during the administration of President Barack Obama. Jen Psaki will serve as his press secretary. She held several positions in communications during Obama’s administration, including as State Department spokesperson. Biden’s communication team is expected to return to more traditional ways of talking and meeting with members of the press.
