Coons statement on President-elect Bidens nomination of Tony Blinken as Secretary of State | 2020-11-23 | 2020 | 2020-11 | Democrat | House | DE | Christopher Coons | C001088 | www.coons.senate.gov | legacy | WILMINGTON, Del. U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement after President-elect Joe Biden announced Tony Blinken as his nominee to serve as Secretary of State. Tony Blinken will be an outstanding Secretary of State. I have known and worked with Tony for over a decade and no one better understands and conveys President-elect Biden's vision for building back better our nation's role in the world than Tony. World leaders will know that when Tony speaks, he is speaking for the President. He is a capable, measured, thoughtful and inspiring leader, and our diplomats around the world will be encouraged to have his leadership at the State Department. We have a lot of important and difficult work to do together in the years ahead advancing our values, restoring our alliances and tackling the challenges of this century from China and climate change, to responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and future global health crises and I look forward to working closely with Secretary Blinken and President Biden to deliver strong results. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
