Kennedys. Governors. High-rolling fundraisers. These are the usual politically-connected credentials of an U.S. ambassador, one of the most sought after postings in any new administration. But President Joe Biden is reportedly about to lower the bar by plucking out of obscurity an Easton state rep to become the next Ambassador to Ireland.
Kennedys. Governors. High-rolling fundraisers. These are the usual politically connected credentials of a U.S. ambassador, one of the most sought-after postings in any new administration. But President Joe Biden is reportedly about to lower the bar by plucking out of obscurity an Easton state rep to become the next ambassador to Ireland. State Rep. Claire Cronin, whose only national exposure is standing in front of a convention of Democratic hacks to pledge her state’s delegates to Biden, is reportedly in line to take a job that has previously been filled by multimillionaire philanthropists, former politicians and political royalty. Biden is supposed to start announcing his ambassador picks this week and the big names are already leaking out. It’s the same old, old school politics we’ve come to expect from glad-handing Biden.
