U.S. presidential candidate Inslee wants Rapinoe as his secretary of state

U.S. presidential candidate Jay Inslee has said that he would want U.S. women's national team star Megan Rapinoe as his secretary of state if he is elected.

Inslee, the governor of Washington, is a Democratic candidate for the 2020 election and is hoping to win his party's nomination and face off against the incumbent Donald Trump.

Rapinoe, who plays for Seattle's Reign FC in Inslee's home state of Washington, famously clashed with Trump during the World Cup this month, and also won the Golden Ball and Golden Boot as the USWNT won their second consecutive world title.
