WASHINGTON - US President-elect Joe Biden intends to name his longtime adviser Antony Blinken as Secretary of State, according to three people familiar with the matter, setting out to assemble his Cabinet even before Mr Donald Trump concedes defeat.
The people familiar with Mr Biden's selections asked not to be identified because he hasn't yet made the announcements. The Secretary of State also leads a staff of dozens of experts drawn from the government's military, diplomatic and intelligence agencies who develop US foreign and military policy. When Mr Biden was a senator, Mr Blinken served as his staff director on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee before leaving to work on Mr Biden's 2008 presidential campaign.Following the Obama administration, Mr Blinken co-founded WestExec Advisors, a political strategy firm, with a top Obama-era Pentagon official, Ms Michele Flournoy.
They won’t get the chance! Period!
Spelled “Antony” (no “h”). 😉
