During her tenure in the Obama administration, I saw her stand up to older white men who served in cabinet roles and senior White House roles — and witnessed her speak on behalf of more junior staff during meetings with the President of the United States.

Susan Rice's strength is never going to be her impact as a rousing public speaker drawing crowds of 50,000, and while I have no idea how she would handle a list of fundraising calls, this moment is not about finding a political sidekick or Twitter celebrity.

When other members of the national security team refused to go on television, including then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Rice took one for the team and did a full round of Sunday shows utilizing talking points prepared by the intelligence community based on what they knew at the time.

As such, Rice would be a strong partner for Biden in addressing our current global pandemic, re-engaging our partners overseas and rebuilding the national security institutions — from the State Department to intelligence and defense agencies — that Trump has undercut.

Though I had met Rice before she began her tenure in the White House, I first really saw her in action when she was the US Ambassador to the United Nations (2009 to 2013) and later the National Security Adviser (2013 to 2017).
