Joe Biden is at the top of the internal short list
Hillary Clinton’s transition team is preparing for her pick to be secretary of
state, a source familiar with the planning tells POLITICO.
This would be the first major Cabinet candidate to
go public for a campaign that’s insisted its focus remains on winning the
election, and perhaps the most central choice for a potential president who was
a secretary of state herself.
Neither Clinton, nor her aides have yet told Biden.
According to the source, they’re strategizing about how to make the approach to
the vice president, who almost ran against her in the Democratic primaries but
has since been campaigning for her at a breakneck pace all over the country in
these final months.
"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.
