Jet-setting local weather czar John Kerry is reportedly considering of fleeing the Biden administration simply earlier than a possible GOP takeover of Congress, escaping doubtless scrutiny into his payroll and globetrotting methods.
Kerry, former Massachusetts Democratic senator and Secretary of State, can see which manner the headwinds are blowing on Election Day, and it’s not good for him.
Does he actually have to be repeatedly hauled earlier than the Republican-controlled Senate to justify his job, his jet, his workers and his carbon-emitting world travels?
Kerry has arrogantly refused to launch even his local weather czar payroll to the Herald.
Can you think about what Republicans like Sen. Tom Cotton will do if the GOP runs the present on Capitol Hill? Kerry’s payroll would be the least of his issues.
Axios, a Kerry pleasant media group, broke the information of the previous senator’s doable departure, saying he was “actively considering” quitting after subsequent month’s COP27 local weather summit in Egypt. Naturally he desires to get in a single final world journey.
A Kerry spokeswoman denied the transfer was within the works, in all probability to keep away from the looks that Kerry is a lame duck.
“I can’t stress enough Secretary Kerry has no plans to depart, and his sole focus is COP27, period, and anything else is baseless speculation,” spokesperson Whitney Smith mentioned.
But the timing of a Kerry departure is smart given the Nov. 8 election is looming, the place the newest polls present Republicans making positive aspects in races throughout the nation.
Kerry is a political animal, and he doesn’t want a reminder of what a GOP lightning rod he’s develop into for Joe Biden. He can be completely tortured by a Republican Congress.
“He doesn’t relish being hauled before his colleagues in a potentially Republican-controlled Senate or House to defend his approach to lowering carbon emissions, including his family’s private jet,” Axios reported. “While Kerry enjoys a wealthy lifestyle from his wife’s fortune, he is interested in returning to the private sector to increase his own personal net worth.”
Kerry should rethink whether or not to depart. Axios says he’s “both indefatigable and a little frustrated. There’s not a meeting — or a flight — he won’t take to urge other countries or companies to do more on climate.”
No kidding. But if Kerry does return to the non-public sector, he can a minimum of then return to his spouse’s non-public jet, the Flying Squirrel. Under the Biden administration he’s been pressured to trip industrial. How pedestrian.
Kerry could possibly be one among simply various Biden appointees to get out of Dodge earlier than Republicans seize management and begin launching investigations.
Expect many extra departures within the coming weeks, as Democrats and Republicans begin to envision the Biden Lame Duck administration.
