Biden nominates Clyburn's daughter to federal commission on poverty

[WASHINGTONTIMES] President Joe Biden

...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family......
has nominated a daughter of House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn
...Democratic Representative-for-Life from South Carolina. He has been warming his safe seat since 1993...
, one of his key allies in Congress, to a seat on a federal commission aimed at addressing poverty in the southeastern U.S.

The president appointed Jennifer Clyburn Reed as federal co-chair of the Southeast Crescent Regional Commission, which was created in 2008 and received a large boost in federal funding in the current fiscal year.

Mr. Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat whose endorsement is credited with helping Mr. Biden to win a crowded presidential primary in 2020, has often spoken of his daughter someday taking his place in Congress. Her nomination must be confirmed by the Senate.

The seven-state regional commission covers parts of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia and was created to address economic distress across the region.

But the commission has been inactive, according to a recent report by the Congressional Research Service, because it lacked a federal co-chair to form a quorum and make decisions.

"It has received regular appropriations of $250,000 annually from FY2010 through FY2020, but it has not been able to form due to the absence of an appointed federal co-chair," the CRS report stated. "However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
for FY2021, the SCRC was appropriated a substantial increase of $1 million."

Ms. Reed, who has worked as an educator, told a local newspaper earlier this year that she’s ready for a life in politics.

Shouldn't you know something about poverty? These people have had a life of privilege.

#4 Meet the Clyburn daughter hoping to succeed her father — it’s not who you think

The Clyburn daughter interested in taking her father’s spot in Congress is escorting U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris around Columbia’s Vista business district on Saturday for the 2020 presidential candidate’s latest visit. The same daughter also hosted other White House hopefuls this month — walking with U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand at Columbia’s weekly street market and toasting former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper at a Columbia brewery.

After 25 years of teaching in elementary and middle schools, Jennifer Clyburn Reed says she’s ready for a life in politics, though she is unsure about her next step.

“There is one office that I know a little bit more than others,” Reed said after hosting a women’s voter brunch for Gillibrand. “People are like, ‘You can start small,’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t know too much about those.’ That learning curve (for Congress) won’t be as much for me as it would be for someone else.”

And she does have a good mentor.

“She is the one that most of my friends say would be the best,” said Jim Clyburn, who is in his 27th year in Congress. “They keep telling me how engaging she is. What a pleasant demeanor she has. One guy said to me she melts you away with her smile.

“She has tremendous presence. I bet I have heard a hundred people tell me that she’s a natural.”

Reed’s younger sister, Angela, the grassroots director for the S.C. Democratic Party, says she is happy “to be in the background and being supportive” for her family.

Reed, 49, learned about policy from weekly Saturday breakfasts with her sisters and father when the congressman came home from Capitol Hill. Reed would share how she thought criminal justice was destroying black families and point out the flaws of the No Child Left Behind education initiative, Clyburn said.

#5 The Clyburns are experts in poverty having condemned generations of their constituents to being kept in it.
