It’s a little unseemly and more than a bit desparate, but I’m all for it:
Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said he would “consider it seriously” if he was asked by President Joe Biden to become Secretary of State in a potential second term in office.
Coons was asked the question by moderator Ed O’Keefe during an installment of CBS News’ Senate Project debate series, where he was sparring with Florida Republican Marco Rubio.
“If he calls?”, O’Keefe asked.
“I’ll consider it seriously,” Coons said.
C’mon, he’s been lobbying for the position since Biden’s election. You think all that ‘Coons as Biden’s shadow Secretary Of State’ pub happened w/o the active involvement of Coons? You can’t say he’s not a schmoozer.
If Biden were to choose him, Biden could pretty much name Coons’ senatorial successor. I’m guessing he’d choose Sarah. Meaning perhaps, perhaps, both Sarah and Eugene end up in DC as members of the Delaware delegation.
