I'm just fine with all of Biden's nominees
First, I trust his judgement completely. Probably more than any other President elected in my lifetime. He knows government and how things work in Washington. And he knows who will be most effective at getting things done.
Second, it's his administration. He has the right to assemble his chosen team.
Third, most of the complaints that I've heard about some of the picks have nothing to do with the person's ability to do the job but are about optics. Oh please. We need competent people, not someone for a photo op to check a box off of some political correctness list.
And finally, if one of your favorites doesn't get picked for a position, please don't whine about it. We've has 4 years of a fanboy Presidency, now let the grownups clean mess and get things done.

Biden: Why I Chose Lloyd Austin
We need a leader who is tested, and matched to the challenges we face in this moment.
Joe Biden
In late August of 2010, I traveled to Iraq for the fifth time as vice president. While there, I participated in the change-of-command ceremony for United States ForcesIraq. President Barack Obama had charged me with overseeing the end of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and we were committed to ensuring the orderly withdrawal of our forces and equipment from Iraq. Standing in the garish al-Faw palace, once home to Saddam Hussein but by then part of Camp Victory, I watched as General Lloyd Austin assumed leadership of a national-security priority on behalf of the president of the United States of America.
Just over a year later, in December 2011, I returned to al-Faw palace, joining Austin in a ceremony honoring American and Iraqi service members as our forces left the country.
General Austin got the job done. He played a crucial role in bringing 150,000 American troops home from the theater of war. Pulling that off took more than just the skill and strategy of a seasoned soldier. It required Austin to practice diplomacy, building relationships with our Iraqi counterparts and with our partners in the region. He served as a statesman, representing our country with honor and dignity and always, above all, looking out for his people.
