A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that Biden has prioritized experience with his Cabinet picks and choices for the White House.

NPR published a centrist article reporting that Biden holds the record for most votes cast for any presidential candidate in U.S. history, while President Trump holds the distinction of earning the second-most votes of all time with 74 million Americans voting for him.
