WASHINGTON (CNN) — President-elect Barack Obama plans to nominate New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to be secretary of commerce, a Democratic source told CNN on Tuesday.
The nomination of the former energy secretary has been widely expected.
Richardson has been on Obama’s list for the position from the start, a senior Democratic source said, and the two spoke about it on November 14.
If Richardson steps down as chief executive of New Mexico, Democratic Lt. Gov. Diane Denish will take over.
