President Biden announced his first slate of political ambassadors Tuesday, selecting longtime Washington hands for key foreign postings.
Biden will nominate Thomas R. Nides, a former State Department official, to serve as the ambassador to Israel, Julie Smith, a former Biden national security adviser, as the ambassador to North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and Ken Salazar, the former secretary of the interior and senator from Colorado, as the ambassador to Mexico.
The Washington Post previously reported the three were expected in those spots.
