The president of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, Patrick Gaspard, will resign, opening the way for him to take a possible position in the US President-elect Joe Biden administration, Fox News reported.
Gaspard, who has served on the aforesaid foundation for three years, announced Friday that he will step down at the end of the year, Open Society said.
Gaspard previously served as US ambassador to South Africa between 2013 and 2016 in the Obama administration. Before that, he served as director of the White House Office of Political Affairs.
Axios reported that there is speculation he could join the Biden administration, possibly as Labor secretary. He has previous experience with labor unions—having worked for the Service Employees International Union.
In a statement, Gaspard said he wishes to re-enter politics to continue “the struggle against oppression everywhere.”
