The selection of Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM) to lead the Department of Interior will make her the first Native American and woman to lead the cabinet. It could also make a competitive House race for a seat crucial to keeping the Democrats in the majority.

Sources are confirming that Haaland, 60 is in the running for the Department of Interior.

The Department of Interior is a position that covers the roles of protecting federal lands, natural resources and wildlife. The agencies under the Interior Department include the Bureau of Land Management, the United States Geological Survey and the National Park Service. 

Biden is vowing the diversify his cabinet. Picking Deb Haaland will be a historical pick. She will be the first woman and Native American to lead a White House cabinet position.

She is of the Laguna Pueblo heritage. She resides in the city of Albuquerque and is a supporter of the environment and the plights of indigenous people, Latinx and African Americans.

She is a 35th-generation New Mexican. She and Rep. Sherice Davids (D-KS) are the first Native American women to serve in the Congress. 

Haaland is a single mother who raised her daughter on the safety net. At times, she could afford to pay bills because she worked two jobs. She earned her degrees at the University of New Mexico School of law in 2006. She has a bachelor’s in English. She went on to succeed Michelle Lugan Grisham, who would become the governor of New Mexico. 

Haaland didn’t respond to comments from the junk food media. But it’s likely she will take the role if offered by President-elect Joe Biden.

Biden already picked Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) and Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA) to fill spots in the administration and the seats are likely Democrat holds. But the seat that Haaland holds is leaning Democrat and a potential grab for Republicans fumed over President Donald J. Trump lost to Biden.

Under New Mexico law, Haaland would not have to resign her House seat until the Senate confirms her. The New Mexico secretary of state will have 10 days to set a date for a general election to fill the vacancy. It will occur between 77 to 91 days of the vacancy.

Many speculate that Republicans are motivated to reclaim the House and Senate in 2022, so Democrats are hoping to keep motivation going into the Midterms to keep the majority.

With Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) signalling they will retain their roles as top Democratic leaders, the far-right will continue to vilify them and use them as motivators to get voters to support Republicans.

It doesn’t help when a one bill lawmaker who makes noise continues her crusade. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), the Jim Jordan of the Left is calling for Pelosi and Schumer to step aside. She and The Squad are giving the far-right ammo to say to the “Democrats are disarray.” 

In reality, Republicans are in disarray. They don’t want to lose the Trump base while trying to appeal to the moderates and independents who felt the base went too far.

With Biden in and Republicans motivated to gridlock his presidency, they will line up candidates who could make the Democrats slim majority in the House even slimmer. They already lost one member to the noise of the far-right and far-left.

Rep. Xochitl Torres Small (D-NM) lost her bid for reelection to Rep-elect Yvette Herrell (R-NM). 

Herrell is a member of the Cherokee Nation and is the first Republican woman who is Native American. Torres Small is a Latia lawmaker. 

Torres Small and many Democrats representing conservative districts blame Pelosi, Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ayanna Presley (D-MA) for costing them their elections. These Democratic lawmakers represent safe holds and their influence on the party has turned off moderates and independents. 

The far-left is bad as the far-right when it comes to partisan bullshit.
