WASHINGTON (AP) - Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani emerged as the favorite to serve as secretary of state in Donald Trump's incoming administration, a senior Trump official said as the president-elect narrowed down his Cabinet picks.
The official said there was no real competition for the job and that it was Giuliani's if he wanted it. The official was not authorized to speak on the record and requested anonymity.
Giuliani, a top Trump adviser, said Monday night at a Washington event sponsored by the Wall Street Journal that he "won't be attorney general" in Trump's administration - a job for which the former federal prosecutor had been seen as a top contender even before Trump's election.

Agreed. No sense. Make him AG to drain the swamp.
Rudy for AG, Bolton for SecState. It’s not that hard.
I agree..... no sense.... AG, yes.... SOS, I was hoping for Newt!
Justice, not Foggy Bottom.
Gingrich or Bolton for SOS, Giuliani for AG, Palin for DOI, Carson for HHS.
He is know. World over and has developed a cyber security technology. Thought her be stronger at Homeland security.
This is probably more of the endless rumor mongering with nothing behind it.
No swamp is as deep or putrid than the state dept.
Huh?
I think autocorrect assaulted your post.
I don't like the sound of that.
This is a surprise to me. I can think of lots of other people that would seem to better fit the SoS job. However Giuliani does have an engaging personality and good people skills. Perhaps Trump sees that aspect in Giuliani.
Giuliani as AG, Bolton as State.
If it ain’t Rudy for AG, who else could it be? Christie?
Trump puts out misinformation. Didn’t take long to figure that out.
But I can see an argument for Rudy as Secretary of State. Remember Secretary of State was corrupted by Hillary. Rudy could be just the person to clean it out.
