    The election is over. It’s time to put aside the partisanship and the rhetoric designed to demonize one another. We have to come together.

    Another outstanding national security pick. Jake Sullivan is a kind midwesterner with a fierce intellect and good heart. Our country and foreign relations will be in good hands.

    President-elect Biden taught me what it takes to safeguard our national security at the highest levels of our government. Now, he has asked me to serve as his National Security Advisor. In service, I will do everything in my power to keep our country safe.

    Tony Blinken is a true mensch - smart, kind, thoughtful. He will be an outstanding representative of the United States on the world stage, committed to the liberal order, dialogue, and partnership.

    The messages from friends and colleagues that I’ve received over the past 15 hours have been humbling.  Honored to announce, officially, that I have been nominated to serve as Secretary of State. If confirmed, this is a mission I will take on with my full heart.
