It is noteworthy that Blinkin, 58, worked with Biden for more than 10 years, and was his national security advisor from 2009 to 2013, when he was vice president under former President Barack Obama.
He was a foreign policy advisor, and began his career in the State Department during the Bill Clinton administration.
Biden is scheduled to announce his selections for the new cabinet on Tuesday, his chief aide, Ron Klein, told ABC News earlier on Sunday, without giving further details.
