“There’s that old saying, ‘Nothing about us without us,’” former Michigan Gov. and Clinton-supporter Jennifer Granholm (D) told the Times. “I mean, a woman as chief of staff, Treasury secretary, a woman at Defense — it would be incredible.”

According to the report, Clinton is eying immigration reform and infrastructure spending as opportunities for cooperation with Republicans if she is elected President. She intends to build bridges with Washington lawmakers over social events with drinks, rather than the sporting matches hosted by past presidents. She hopes that a half-female cabinet will also help change the tone in Washington, the Times said.
