Vice President Joe Biden is at the top of the list for secretary of state if Hillary Clinton pulls out a win on Nov. 8.
A source close to Clinton’s transition team told Politico on Thursday evening that the Democratic nominee is already making serious considerations when it comes to who would be part of a Clinton 2.0 Cabinet.
Biden himself is apparently unfamiliar with the news. Neither Clinton, a former secretary of state herself, nor her aides, have informed the former Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman that he’s most likely to oversee international affairs if she wins.
“He’d be great, and they are spending a lot of time figuring out the best way to try to persuade him to do it if she wins,” said the source familiar with the transition planning.
The report comes after Clinton’s team said its focus is winning on Election Day.
