US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has indicated that he may distance himself from politics. In fact, he has said that he wants to spend time with his children. In such a situation, it is being speculated that Antony Blinken may not take up the post of Foreign Minister in the next government. It is worth noting that Antony Blinken's busyness has increased a lot in the last one year. Especially since the Israel-Hamas war, Blinken has visited West Asia nine times.

Indications of distance from politics given on Haiti tour
Blinken is on a visit to Haiti. Blinken is the first US Secretary of State to visit Haiti in the last decade. Speaking to reporters there, Blinken said, "As far as my future is concerned, I spent the last week with my children and I would love to spend more time with them in the future." Antony Blinken has two children. Antony Blinken is considered close to Joe Biden and has worked with Blinken during Joe Biden's tenure as Senator, Vice President and now as President. Now Biden is not contesting the next presidential election. In such a situation, Blinken can also distance himself from politics.

It is worth noting that it is very unusual for a foreign minister in the US to remain in office even after the election. The last time George Schulz held the post of Foreign Minister for two consecutive terms. It is said that Blinken is not as close to Kamala Harris as he is to Biden. In such a situation, it is believed that Blinken will not hold the post of Foreign Minister in the next government. Presidential elections are to be held in the US in November. Kamala Harris is the presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, while Donald Trump is in the presidential race from the Republican Party.
