What is a shadow cabinet and how would it work in the US?

Shadow cabinet: Democratic lawmaker proposes idea​

Coming off of Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election, we’re starting to see how his second term administration is shaping up. One question on the minds of many, what do the Democrats do now? One Democratic Congressman from North Carolina – Rep. Wiley Nickel – is proposing a "shadow cabinet." He joined LiveNOW's Andy Mac to us explain what that means and how it could look.

The Brief​

  • A shadow cabinet is a team from the opposition party – in this case, the Democrats – that mirrors Cabinet members in the incoming ruling party, i.e. Republicans.
  • It’s the standard in the UK and Canada, but could it work in the U.S.?
    With Donald Trump taking back the White House, a Democratic congressman is calling for America to borrow from the British and appoint a shadow cabinet to "fight back" against Trump’s agenda.
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.

What Is a shadow cabinet
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.
Nickel said it’s been done for a century in the UK. Canada also has a shadow cabinet in place.
How would a shadow cabinet work in the U.S.
Nickel said U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate leader Chuck Schumer could appoint 26 Democratic members of Congress to go "one-on-one" with each member of Trump’s Cabinet.

Commentary:
This doesn't come as a surprise..
Nothing new for the Neo-Marxist Democrats... They've been doing this and running star chamber activities for decades....
Ideological yellow journalists employed by the Quisling Media complied their marxist leaders with their political betters.
 
mirrors the ruling party’s cabinet members

Go one on one with each member
.

Blah blah blah...the usual words that have no meaning coming from the democrats. The sore losers want to overthrow the US gov't again.

Do you notice how with all those words they never say what a shadow cabinet is or what it does? (kinda reminds me of IM2).

Just lock them out of the room & go on with making America great again!

depending on how far they take it it could be called sedition,,
 
Maybe we should round up a bunch of unelected thugs to "mirror" every democrat in the house and senate.

I'm sure pelosi wouldn't mind.

It's just another term for "Deep State." They're not even trying to hide it anymore.

The concept is Fake News, for the bored and whining.
It won't work in the US.
 
Really only works in a parliamentary system where the Legislature dictates the Executive Branch.
 
mirrors the ruling party’s cabinet members

Go one on one with each member
.

The only way to stop a raging perp bent on naining ir killing anyone in their path is to stop them with kinetic force, namely a bullet,

~~~~~~
Theoretically, Both Houses of Congress are supposed to follow Robert's Rules of Parliamentary Procedure.
But it is truly not a parliamentary system nor procedure in Congress.

House Democrat Calls for ‘Shadow Government’ to Undermine Trump,

with Adam Schiff as Fake AG

16 Nov 2024 ~~ By Hannah Knudsen

Democrat Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-NC) is so bereaved by Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss and President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks that he is suggesting Democrats take action and form a “shadow government,” operating to oppose the Trump agenda that the majority if the country voted for.
Nickel put forth his idea in an op-ed in the Washington Post, asserting that it is time for America to “borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst excesses of a second Trump administration.”
“Last week stung. As Democrats, we simply failed to convince the American people we have better ideas to solve their problems, but we do. Now we need to dust ourselves off and get ready to fight,” he said. “We can’t let Donald Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda go unanswered or unopposed,” he continued, walking through his pitch to “borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst abuses of a second Trump administration.”
~Snip~

Nickel provided specific examples of who he believes should fill some of these shadow cabinet positions, beginning with infamous Russia collusion hoax spreader and Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA).



Commentary:
This is an announcement of a conspiracy to promote sedition.
Hmm..., I wonder how people like this are labeled, investigated, arrested and tried for treason will react?
Just who is Nickel pimping for? Certainly it's not for the majority of Americans that voted for Trump.
We already had the Obama shadow gov't that covered Trump's first election undermining gov't and weaponizing agencies.
Self awareness isn't the Democrats strong suit... Does he even realize how bad he sounds? A bunch of nonsense, if he likes the UK so much, I am sure they would welcome his Socialist self as a new member...
Meanwhile, we all wonder if president-elect Trump will pardon those convicted and incarcerated by Democrats claimed acts of insurrection on Jan 6th 2021?
 
Anyone selected for the shadow cabinet will be an unqualified minority chosen for their intersectionality not for ability. It's nothing to worry about.
