US President Barack Obama is to nominate John Kerry to be his next secretary of state, US media report.
Mr Kerry would replace Hillary Clinton at the head of the state department, the media quoted senior administration officials as saying.
Mr Kerry ran as Democratic presidential candidate in 2004 and is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
His nomination comes after the US ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, withdrew from consideration last week.
