Biden-Harris admin seeks to hire up to 1,200 DEI staffers prior to Trump's second term: report

The Biden-Harris administration is reportedly in the midst of bringing on up to 1,200 DEI-related employees just before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, in what appears to be an apparent attempt to embed the roles before Trump takes office.

According to an analysis done by the Daily Wire of federal job opportunities, some of the roles have salaries over $300,000 annually and the amount spent on the job positions would total around $160 million each year. In the ten days after the election of Trump, 33 job positions were posted on federal websites. The hiring window closes before the president-elect takes office in January.

On November 15, for example, the Department of Health and Human Services advertised to fill the "Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health" role at a salary of up to $221,900 a year in order to “promote health equity." This, and other positions, were posted on the job opportunity platform USAJobs.gov.
