Exxon Mobil chief executive Rex Tillerson has emerged as the top candidate for secretary of state, two people familiar with the deliberations told the Washington Post Friday.

Tillerson and former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney were two of the finalists, along with former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Giuliani withdrew his name from contention Friday.

Tillerson is viewed as an unconventional pick who would bring deal-making skills to the job. Both Tillerson and Romney are business executives with international experience in the for-profit world.

But Tillerson would come into the job with a clean slate politically, while Romney's candidacy had come under fire from some Trump aides who think the former governor went too far in his opposition to Trump during the campaign.

6. I had a feeling it would be Tillerson or Dana Rohrbacher. In other words, someone who is pro-Putin.

That is, understandably, priority numbers one, two and three.

And Trump gave him serious consideration for Secretary of State.
