Senator Hillary Clinton did not confirm rumors Thursday night in Harlem that she will be Barack Obama's nominee for secretary of state.
According to the Associated Press, transition aides say the president-elect is on track to nominate her after Thanksgiving.
The former first lady helped open a Harlem squash center for area kids and then took a question about whether she'll be in the Obama administration.
A reporter asked, "Senator, The young people want to know if you're going to be sec of state."
"Somehow I don't think that’s on a lot of young people’s minds," replied Clinton, who left without taking any other questions.
Obama officials are vetting the senator for the job and ensuring former President Bill Clinton's private business does not conflict with the post.
