Both Bloomberg and The New York Times say that Blinken (58) is Joe Biden’s choice. The two have worked together for several decades. The job as foreign minister is considered the most prestigious in the government.

Blinken (Anthony J. Blinken) was for two years from 2015 to 2017 Deputy Secretary of State in the Obama administration.

He also worked as an assistant national security adviser from 2013 to 2015. Since the early 1990s, Blinken has worked with topics such as national security and foreign policy in the White House under several democratic presidents.

He was already involved in the 1980s in the election campaign for the Democrat Michael Dukakis, who lost to George HW Bush in 1988.

Blinken is a law graduate of Columbia Law School.

Jake Sullivan

Jake Sullivan, who was security adviser to Vice President Joe Biden during the Obama administration, will, according to people close to the process, be appointed as the United States’ new national security adviser. Sullivan was also a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton.

Sullivan (Jacob J. Sullivan) is a 43-year-old Yale law graduate.

The president’s security adviser has great influence and leads a large staff of advisers in the White House. They participate in the development of the country’s foreign and military policy.

An announcement about the appointments is expected on Tuesday.

The incoming chief of staff for the White House, Ron Klain, says that Biden will announce who will be the first ministers in the government on Tuesday.
