Biden says he's made his Treasury Secretary choice

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden says he has decided whom to nominate as his secretary of the Treasury Department.

Biden said Thursday that the decision will be announced just before or after Thanksgiving and that "you'll find it is someone who I think will be accepted by all elements of the Democratic Party, progressives through the moderate coalition."

Biden spoke to reporters after participating in a video conference with a group of governors from both parties, telling them he wanted to be their partner in the White House.

The governors talked about the need for government officials to be clear with Americans about what to expect as the virus surges.

Biden's treasury secretary would lead his economic team as many businesses and Americans struggle while the coronavirus pandemic continues.
