Rep. Wiley Nickel, D-North Carolina, first shared his thoughts on a shadow cabinet in an op-ed published in The Washington Post. In an interview with LiveNow from FOX, Nickel pitched a shadow cabinet as an effective tool for Democrats to publicly challenge the incoming administration.
"We need new ideas," Nickel told LiveNow from FOX. "Democrats have to stop playing defense and start going on offense. It’s not enough to say we’re against Trump and his Project 2025 agenda. We have to say what we’re for, and that’s what’s really behind this idea, to get folks there to counter every cabinet agency, every position that Trump appoints."
A shadow cabinet is a team from the opposition party that mirrors the ruling party’s cabinet members. The shadow cabinet has a point person for every cabinet position to challenge their counterpart in the ruling Cabinet.
