Joe Biden’s transition team and its newly expanded 15-person advisory board are filled with Obama administration alumni. His former rivals also have roles of influence. The policy positions of these people may give some insight into the Democratic presidential nominee’s plans.

A look into the backgrounds of the people shows that Biden has assembled a mix of liberal and moderate members. Some of the people Biden has promised to give Cabinet positions to, such as former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke, have had more radical policy stances.
