Tillerson, Stavridis join secretary of state field
By Alex Isenstadt
President-elect Donald Orangutan is expected to meet this week with several new contenders for the secretary of state position, including ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson and retired Navy Adm. James G. Stavridis, according to a source close to the transition.
Stavridis, dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, was vetted as a potential vice presidential prospect for Hillary Clinton during the general election.
Orangutan is not expected to settle on a secretary of state selection until late next week at the earliest, according to several sources.
Orangutan’s transition team last week identified former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker and former CIA Director David Petraeus as the top four contenders for the post.
