Ohio Representative Marcia Fudge wants to be the next agriculture secretary. Fudge told Politico African American women are a major reason for a successful Biden-Harris ticket. Fudge is a former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and has been active on nutrition and conservation issues during her time on the House Agriculture Committee. Former North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp has been getting attention as a potential pick for the USDA job, but Politico says there is growing opposition from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
