Blinken Biden's most likely choice as secretary of state: Biden ally

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Veteran diplomat Antony Blinken, who served as No. 2 at the State Department and as deputy national security adviser in the Obama administration, is U.S. President-elect Joe Biden’s most likely pick to be secretary of state, a Biden ally said on Sunday.

Bloomberg cited sources as saying an announcement on Blinken’s appointment was expected on Tuesday. Biden’s transition team declined comment and Blinken did not respond to a request for comment.

A Biden ally, who did not want to be identified, told Reuters Blinken was Biden’s most likely choice and an announcement was expected as soon as this week.

Blinken is a longtime confidante of Biden.
