Former Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake confirmed to CNN on Sunday that he has been in touch with the Biden administration when Pamela Brown asked about his name being “floated for a potential ambassadorship.”

“All I’ve said is I have an interest in making sure President Biden’s foreign policy is bipartisan. We used to say that partisanship stops at the water’s edge,” he said. “That needs to happen and I think it can happen. But there has been no specific talks.”

“I think they are ways from decisions like they’re talking about now, I mean they still have half the Cabinet to get through the Senate,” Flake continued when he was further asked to comment about “specific talks.” “But I certainly have an interest in, like I said, making sure that our foreign policy is bipartisan. But we’ll leave that to the Biden administration to make those decisions.”

Flake was among those censured by the Arizona Republican Party for opposing Trump, The Epoch Times reported.

Flake concluded an op-ed column for CNN.com Monday by saying “there is no redeeming his behavior. And let's not continue this tragic charade by further humiliating and debasing ourselves. History always knows the truth. Let's learn the lessons of this experience, admit our failings and move on. This is what our country deserves.”
