From a Washington Post story by Mariana Alfaro and Matt Viser headlined “Biden to appoint Joe Kennedy—RFK’s grandson—as special envoy to Northern Ireland”:

President Biden plans to appoint former congressman Joe Kennedy — Robert F. Kennedy’s grandson — as the next U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland.

A U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an appointment that hasn’t been formally announced, confirmed the news and said the appointment will be announced in the coming days.

Kennedy will be the first to hold the seat since Mick Mulvaney left the position in 2021 following his tenure as chief of staff in Donald Trump’s White House.
