Condoleezza Rice is slated to become Preisdent Bush’s new secretary of state.
Nov. 15, 2004—National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, one of President Bush’s closest counselors, will be nominated to replace Colin Powell as secretary of state, ABC News has learned.
Senior administration sources confirmed that Rice would be Bush’s choice. The news comes just hours after the White House announced Powell had submitted his resignation.
Rice has served as national security adviser since Bush first took office. The new post comes as a sort of birthday present for Rice, who turned 50 on Sunday.
Born in Birmingham, Ala., Rice graduated from the University of Denver when she was just 19 years old. She went on to pursue her doctorate. In 1981 she began teaching at Stanford University, where she later served as provost.
In 1989, the first President Bush’s national security adviser, Brent Scowcroft, helped convince her to leave Stanford and work for him in Washington. She quickly became one of George H.W. Bush’s most trusted advisers.
