Until Kamala Harris was elected Vice President in 2020, Albright was the woman who held the most important position in the US government alongside Hillary Clinton, who was Secretary of State in the Barack Obama administration.

However, his name was never considered for the presidency – he was born in the Czechoslovak Republic.

In 2012, President Obama presented Albright with the prestigious Citizen of the United States Medal of Freedom.

At the time, Obama said his life had inspired all Americans.

He said Bush had stunned moderate Arab leaders and created a potential confrontation with Europeans.

Death with family and friends

The family announced Albright’s death through social media. According to the text, she was surrounded by family and friends.
