President Barack Obama on Friday nominated Senator John Kerry as his next secretary of state, a senior administration official said, making the first move in an overhaul of his national security team heading into a second term.
“He is not going not need a lot of on-the-job training,” Mr. Obama said, standing alongside Mr. Kerry at the White House. “Few individuals know as many presidents and prime ministers or grasp our policies as firmly as John Kerry.”
