Secretary of State Blinken signals he wouldn't stay on if Harris wins

Secretary of State Tony Blinken signaled on Wednesday that he wouldn't stay in his role if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the 2024 presidential election. 

“As to my own future, all I’m looking at right now is the balance of this administration and January. And I can tell you from having spent some time over the last week on … break with my kids, I will relish having a lot more time with them," he said at a news conference.

According to a report from the Washington Post, secretaries of state "rarely serve more than a single term" due to the nature of the position. The report noted that Blinken has young children and "spends about half of his time on the road."
