A few weeks back Data For Progress published their " Progressive Cabinet Project " which proposed well over a hundred potential nominees to various positions in Joe Biden’s cabinet.

So far they're 0 for 11, and the 11 loses are mostly the cabinet positions that actually matter.

    UPDATE (11/23/2020) - Data for Progress has joined a few other groups in launching a petition against appointing Bruce Reed as the head of the Office of Management and Budget. While they are likely to spin this as a victory if Biden declines to do so, this would be a goalpost shift from the proposals floated in the Progressive Cabinet Project. Accordingly, I will only score this as a win if Biden picks one of those names, though I’ll note here the outcome of the Reed fight either way.

    UPDATE (11/29/2020) - The Wall Street Journal reports that Biden plans to nominate Neera Tanden rather than Bruce Reed to OMB.
