John Kerry to leave Biden administration, plans to join prez’s re-election campaign

John Kerry, President Biden’s high-flying climate czar, will leave his post later this winter to focus on his boss’s re-election campaign.

The 80-year-old former secretary of state and onetime Democratic presidential candidate – who has drawn criticism for his luxe jet-setting while preaching energy austerity for the masses – told his staff of his imminent departure after speaking with Biden Wednesday, Axios reported Saturday.

The administration has not chosen a replacement for Kerry, who has been Biden’s top climate diplomat since 2021, source familiar with the situation told Reuters.

Kerry has not taken an official job in Biden’s re-election, but “plans to help tell the climate story in the context of Biden’s campaign,” according to Axios.

The Democrat’s long political career, including a 28-year stint as a US senator from Massachusetts and a failed White House run against George W. Bush in 2004, was marred by persistent accusations of climate hypocrisy.

When Biden named Kerry to his custom-created, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate in 2021, critics bashed him for his regular use of a private jet, a Gulfstream Aerospace aircraft registered to a company owned by his wife Teresa Heinz-Kerry.

During his 2004 presidential run, Kerry’s campaign made 60 payments to his wife’s company, totaling $273,171, for use of the aircraft – and in 2013, the then-secretary of state’s executive branch personnel financial disclosure showed him owning “over $1,000,001” in the company’s assets through his wife, Fox News reported.

Kerry continued to use the carbon-spewing jet during his first 18 months as climate czar, racking up 48 trips lasting more than 60 hours and releasing an estimated 715,886 pounds — 325 metric tons — of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, according to flight records.

He’ll go far (I hope).

I know he’ll fire up the faithful. But he needs to lose the long face.

"Plans to" eh?

Hope you and Taray-za have plenty of gin-soaked raisins stored up for the winter.

If any of you use or buy Heinz ketchup in any way, shape, or form, you have absolutely no business complaining about J. F’n Kerry on this website.

Lesson over.

There will be a test.

Kerry will go wherever the money is. His gig as U.S. special presidential envoy for climate must have had cutbacks.

My kids laugh at me because I refuse to buy Heinz ketchup or any other Heinz product. Store brand is fine with me.
