Overall: 
In the source you cite, "millions" is not mentioned. Might be worth clarifying/linking "the pandemic" in the hook. Eddie891 Talk Work 00:48, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

I started to review this and reduced some over referencing. I was about to wave this through when I saw a) it was being reviewed and b) the ibox which assumes that she will be appointed. Surely this breaks the no crystal ball rule. If she is notable just for being a nominee then fine, but the article should finish at that point with "in 2021 she was one of the Presidential nominations for ...".

- What do you mean "assumes"? She *has* been appointed [1], and I've undone your edit because it's present tense that she IS a nominee and the original version was correct. The infobox clearly notes she is a nominee and there is no crystal ball violation. She is notable for the combination of significant coverage she's received as a presidential appointment and as head of NVAHI. Reywas92Talk 19:01, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- The ref you mention says "Announces Nominee". That is not an appointment. You seem to merge the two ideas. Why do you say she has been appointed when she is a nominoee? Which is correct? Victuallers (talk) 06:14, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- There is not a single word in the article that is wrong so I don't know what you're still getting at. If the presidential appointment process is completed when the Senate confirms them and the president signs their commission, the article is accurate to say "who is a nominee", it is accurate to have "nominee" in the infobox, and it is accurate to use the subjunctive "that he would appoint McReynolds." Even if my statement above conflated the terms, the infobox does not "assume that she will be appointed", because it clearly says "Nominee" and assumption of office is still TBD. This is consistent with Merrick Garland, Deb Haaland, Xavier Becerra, etc. etc. and does not violate crystal ball. So can you please approve this for DYK? Reywas92Talk 07:35, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- I withdraw my query. Thank you Reywas92 for the explanation. I would approve but I think Eddie891has first dibs. Sorry to have delayed your nom. Victuallers (talk) 08:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
