President Joe Biden, who took the oath of office Wednesday, has appointed individuals to lead 34 federal government organizations in acting capacities until his Cabinet choices complete confirmation procedures.
Each agency leader will support the new administration in efforts to create a “whole-of-government” strategy to address national challenges and increase public trust, the White House said Wednesday.
