15 Dec Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms “Respectfully Declines” Offer To Join Biden’s Cabinet

President-elect Joe Biden is preparing to take office and building his team. While Keisha Lance Bottoms supported Biden early on, she has respectfully declined an offer to join the Biden Cabinet.

According to WSB-TV, Bottom’s Senior Advisor Rashad Taylor stated she turned down an offer to be part of the Biden Cabinet, “Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was honored to have been offered a role in the Cabinet, which she respectfully declined,” the statement said.

It went on to say that Bottom’s focus is the city of Atlanta, “The Mayor’s focus remains on the people of Atlanta and the great state of Georgia. Out of respect for the process, and the other candidates under consideration, no additional comment will be forthcoming on this matter at this time.”

Bottoms endorsed Biden in 2019 and stated,  “I think that this is not a conventional year,” she said at a Democratic presidential debate in Atlanta in November. “In a conventional year, you wait. And you lick your finger and you stick it up, you see which way the wind is blowing. We don’t have time for that this year.”

Bottoms is a Delta and Harris is an AKA, while the two won’t be working together directly, I’m sure they’ll still keep that Divine 9 unity.
