Job for a Joe ‘pal’ Clyburn kid tabbed

He promised he wouldn’t give his family jobs in his administration — but President Biden never said anything about his friends’ families.

President Biden nominated the daughter of Rep. Jim Clyburn to a federal commission, adding to his string of hiring family members of administration officials or political allies, according to a report on Thursday.

The president nominated Jennifer Clyburn Reed as the chair of the Southeast Crescent Regional Commission, which was created in 2008 to “address economic distress” in the southeast US but has remained inactive since, Fox News reported.

A coalition has been created to get it up and running.

The nomination raises questions about politicalbased hiring because Clyburn (D-SC) endorsed thenpresidential candidate Biden in February 2020 before the South Carolina primary.

The endorsement was credited with fueling Biden’s victory in South Carolina and creating the momentum that allowed him to win 10 states on Super Tuesday.

The American Accountability Foundation, a nonprofit government-oversight group, uncovered the possible link between Clyburn’s endorsement and the nomination of his daughter, according to the report.

A White House official said the administration’s priority was “to nominate someone who lives in the Southeast Crescent Region and who will be a strong advocate for investing resources into impoverished communities.”

“Jennifer Clyburn Reed has a long history of serving her community and would bring importance and expertise to this position,” the official told Fox News.

“Reed has a background in public education and focus on equity issues and historically underrepresented populations.”.

A spokesperson for Clyburn did not answer questions from Fox News, instead directing inquiries to the White House.

Reed did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News.

Soon after taking office, Biden pledged he would run the White House differently than Donald Trump did.

“No one in our family and extended family is going to be involved in any government undertaking or foreign policy,” Biden told People magazine in February.

“And nobody has an office in this place.”

Former President Trump named his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner as White House advisers, but both declined to take a salary.
