President-elect Joe Biden plans on announcing his Cabinet nominees on Tuesday, a member of his transition team said Sunday.
Jen Psaki is overseeing Biden's nominations team, and she tweeted the first picks will be revealed on Tuesday because "we aren't going to mess with anyone's turkey and football." Prior to sending the tweet, Psaki told CNN's Jake Tapper that Biden is "looking forward ... to introducing members of his team to the public."
