MSNBC: Chris Coons rumored for Secretary of State position

Wow! I really like Senator Coons, extremely knowledgeable and amazing calmness and grace. But i was also under the impression the role would go to Susan Rice.

Haven't found an article on this but here's CNN's link on new appointees:

I understand Kamala, but beyond that, it is kinda dangerous!

He said no Republican Senator would vote to confirm Rice. So we need to win the two seats in Georgia.
