WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) – Americans got their first look at President-elect Joe Biden’s proposed national security team. He brought his intended nominees forward Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware. Among those on the team: former Secretary of State John Kerry, who’s to take the lead on climate change. Altogether, Biden’s picks signal a shift from President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy and a return to global engagement. Some are veterans of the Obama administration. The incoming president will nominate longtime adviser Antony Blinken to be secretary of state, lawyer Alejandro Mayorkas to be homeland security secretary, Linda Thomas-Greenfield to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and Jake Sullivan as national security adviser.  (Photo:  CNN)
