US climate envoy John Kerry will leave the administration later this winter and plans to help President Joe Biden’s election campaign, Kerry’s office said on Saturday.
Kerry, a US former secretary of state, informed his staff earlier on Saturday after speaking with Biden earlier this week, a spokesman for Kerry said.
Holy shit, I forgot he was even in the administration.
“I will continue as long as God gives me the breath and work on it one way or the other,” Kerry said of climate advocacy.
But not by keeping the top climate envoy post in the U.S.?
He’s quitting to work on the Biden campaign, so he evidently sees it more important to keep Trump out of the Presidency.
At least that explanation makes sense to me
I mean I don’t know much about what he was able to do in that role, but I imagine there are others who can step into his position and do a killer job. What he may care more about at the moment is ensuring that someone sane can continue making decisions about who goes into positions like the one he’s leaving.
Not much point in hanging onto an assignment that will evaporate with the next administration… especially if you think your talents and skills are better utilized elsewhere.
On one hand, it’s fine because he wasn’t doing anything anyways…
Which highlights how it always should have been somone capable in that role, and not just a reward posting.
We need to move away from crony capitalism like this were unqualified people are put in vital positions.
Bad news, it’s to help bidens campaign
Biden really needed the help with the 75+ year old white male moderate vote…
Who ran a losing campaign…
