Flake says he's in touch with Biden administration, but 'no specific' ambassadorship talks
By Lexi Lonas - 02/15/21 11:31 AM EST Former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) said on CNN over the weekend that he has been in talks with President Joe Biden’s administration about bipartisanship in foreign policy positions, but added that there have been “no specific talks†about a spot for Flake as an ambassador.
"You know, we used to say that partisanship stops at the water's edge. That needs to happen, and I think it can happen. But there's been no specific talks," Flake said.
The conversation began due to reporting from Axios that the Biden administration could be considering Flake for a spot as an ambassador for South Africa.
"I certainly have an interest in, like I said, making sure that our foreign policy is bipartisan. But we'll leave that to the Biden administration to make those decisions,†Flake told CNN's Pamela Brown on "Newsroom."
Flake has recently joined CNN as a political commentator and has been an outspoken Republican against former President Trump.
