In 2017, Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., eulogized Oneil Marion Cannon, a top member of the Communist Party USA for decades, calling him a "friend and mentor." Messages to representatives on Biden's transition team and Bass' office were not returned. In an August interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace, Bass walked back praise of deceased Cuban leader Fidel Castro. She told Wallace her views on Cuba developed over time and that she understood Castro's government "was a brutal regime." Others reportedly being considered to run HUD include Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Maurice Jones, a former HUD deputy secretary under former President Barack Obama.
