According to Axios, the winner of the White House, Joe Biden, is considering Anthony Blinken for the position of Secretary of State of the United States.
Democratic Representative Joe Biden, who won the presidential election in the United States, has decided the candidacy for the post of Secretary of State. Axios reported this on November 21, citing his own sources among Democrats.
According to the newspaper, the likely head of US foreign policy is 58-year-old Anthony Blinken, who in 2009-2013 was a national security adviser to then-US Vice President Biden.
Blinken served as the US Under Secretary of State from 2015 to 2017.
Axios notes that diplomat Susan Rice was another candidate for the position of head of the US State Department, but they later decided to use her in another position because Biden “does not want to start his presidency with a confrontation.
In the United States, on November 3, 2020, the main vote in the presidential elections took place. More than 10 candidates ran for office, the main competitors being the current head of the White House, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Biden. Turnout in these elections was a 120-year record – some 160 million Americans participated in them.
According to CNN, ABC News and Fox News, Biden received between 273 and 290 electoral votes, guaranteeing him a victory in the election. Trump, according to CNN, has the support of 213 voters, according to ABC News and Fox News – 214.
Biden has already announced that he will be the next president of the United States, with several world leaders congratulating him on his victory, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump refuses to admit defeat and prevents the transfer of power, but on November 13 he admitted that another administration would work in the White House. On November 16, Trump cited Biden’s victory with fakes.
The winner of the election will be officially announced by the President of the United States Senate at a meeting on January 6, 2021. On January 20, the elected head of state will be sworn in.
