It's one of 17 nominations announced Wednesday that included major diplomatic and arts assignments. McCain is the widow of Arizona Sen. John McCain.
She broke with Republicans and endorsed Biden for president.
This made her a key surrogate for the Democrat after years of attacks by Donald Trump on her husband.
McCain is the chair and director of the Hensley Beverage Company, a Phoenix-based distributor of beer, wine, spirits and nonalcoholic drinks.
