Current US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has confirmed she will be stepping down at the end of the term.
According to reports President Obama will likely nominate current US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice or Senator John Kerry for that position.
However, Susan Rice came under criticise from those such as Senator John McCain who highlighted her statement following the attack on US embassy in Libya that killed US Ambassador Chris Stevens along with three other US staff.
Susan Rice has come under scrutiny for claiming the attacks on the embassy as “spontaneous” when later reports suggested it was a “coordinated attack.”
President Obama on Wednesday at the press conference defended Susan Rice saying she “had nothing to do with Benghazi” rather called on the Republican delegates to “go after me” rather.
