The Delaware Democrat is a “bridge” between the Hill, the White House and foreign capitals.
In meetings inside the Hotel Bayerischer Hof, Coons said, he made sure to shift the conversation from “chasing shiny objects” to other possible assistance. “Wars are won or lost on logistics,” the senator said.
Back in September 2021, senior French officials flocked to Coons after the announcement of a nuclear submarine deal between the U.S., Britain and Australia known as AUKUS. The French were stunned and livid. The deal annulled an existing contract for France to supply the Australians with their subs. Emmanuel Macron called his ambassador home from Washington in protest, while his emissaries worked with the Delaware senator who co-chairs the Congressional French Caucus to defuse the crisis.
“People think all the foreign officials come to him as the Biden whisperer, but really it’s because he writes the checks,” a Senate Democratic aide said.Coons is regularly discussed as the person who would succeed Blinken if he moves on. It’s an open secret that he hoped to be America’s top diplomat at the start of the administration, and he has since told colleagues he could still be secretary of State, perhaps in a second Biden term.
Coons attributes that sense to what he heralds as a “hard-earned and well-deserved reputation for bipartisanship.”His colleagues offered myriad examples of Coons reaching across the aisle. One story came up repeatedly. That episode, Republicans say, was a quintessential Coons moment, one that has helped him win over those across the aisle. It’s made the senator the “bridge” he wants to be.
