Massachusetts senator and failed Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren lobbied Joe Biden to become his treasury secretary.

Chris Cillizza of CNN said there are several reasons Warren will never be America's Treasury Secretary. Warren in the Cabinet would allow Mass. GOP Gov. Charlie Baker to appoint a temporary replacement for her in the Senate. Warren's vision for big structural change doesn't fit Biden's pragmatic approach. Warren would have spooked Wall Street. Warren might not get confirmed by the Senate.
