Joe Biden, who was elected President of the United States in the recent presidential election, gave the important post to John Kerry, the former Secretary of State before he took office.
Joe Biden has begun forming his own team before taking office. He has named Obama-era Secretary of State John Kerry as his special envoy for the environment.
In addition, Biden has nominated 58-year-old Anthony Blankenship as Secretary of State, Jack Sullivan as National Security Adviser, and Alejandro Mavericks as Secretary of Homeland Security.
