Susan Rice out of Secretary of State Race
Susan Rice, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations, has withdrawn her name from consideration to be the next secretary of state, after fierce opposition from Republicans, NBC News reported Thursday.
Rice, who is close to President Barack Obama, had emerged as the focal point of Republican attacks on the administration's handling of the raid on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11.
