Obama Close To Naming Clinton As Secretary Of State
-
Secretary Of State Hillary
Discussions are “very much on track” for Hillary Rodham Clinton to become President-elect Barack Obama’s secretary of State nominee, a Clinton spokesman said Friday as Obama’s team moved ahead with work on his Cabinet.
Senior Clinton adviser Philippe Reines denied reports Friday that she had accepted the job offer. But officials in both camps told the Associated Press they have every reason to believe Obama will announce her as his choice shortly after Thanksgiving.
“We’re still in discussions, which are very much on track. Any reports beyond that are premature,” Reines said in a statement.
Said an official in the Clinton camp: “They’re just talking about the state of the world and what’s next.” The official spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither Obama or Clinton are prepared to go public.
