Attorney general
Tom Perez wanted this job and was considered for it in the process that led to Loretta Lynch, and that interest still appears to be alive and well. He’d be a prominent carryover from the Obama administration, where he was credited internally for helping push forward on executive action while also keeping good relationships with the Hill. In an important prerequisite for this job, he has developed a trust and rapport with Clinton, which had a lot to do with his unexpectedly strong showing in the veepstakes.
