Why has Biden chosen Cecilia Rouse as part of his economic team?
Biden is relying on experienced hands to lead efforts to rebuild an economy devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many businesses are struggling and millions of jobs have been lost. The COVID-19 pandemic has grounded large swaths of the economy.
In addition to Cecilia Rouse, who was part of the economic teams of the previous two Democratic administrations, Biden has also tapped former Fed Chair Janet Yellen to contribute to his administration’s economic recovery efforts.
Yellen will serve as Biden’s Treasury Secretary and bring a wealth of economic experience. Biden may have been impressed by Rouse’s work in the previous White House administrations. For example, Rouse was involved in the efforts to rebuild the U.S. economy after the 2008 financial meltdown caused by the housing bubble.

The highly effective vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca have raised hopes of bringing the COVID-19 pandemic to an end.
