Biden should NOT put any republicans on his cabinet (or only in low profile low consequence post). These team of rivals ideas are just PR. You don’t want ideological differences to become an obstruction and source of tension.
If McConnell blocks, he has to wear it then they use Vacancies Act (creatively) to put people through. The cabinet needs to work like well oiled machine out of the gate - don’t risk gumming it up by trying to make conservatives happy (they are perpetually dour).
