Former Fox News Host's Nomination Receives Praise from the President
President Donald Trump has put forward the nomination of Tammy Bruce, currently a spokeswoman at the U.S. State Department and former Fox News commentator, to the role of Deputy Representative of the United States to the United Nations. In a message shared via his social media platform Truth Social, Trump highlighted Bruce's "fantastic job" in her current capacity and labeled her a "Great Patriot" with extensive experience in conservative commentary.
Before stepping into the political sphere, Bruce had a significant tenure at Fox News, where she contributed to conservative discussions for over two decades. Her authorship of books critical of liberal ideologies, such as "Fear Itself: Exposing the Left's Mind-Killing Agenda," aligns with her strong conservative stance. Trump's nomination comes as Bruce has defended a number of contentious foreign policy strategies, including the administration's approach to immigration and the deployment of private military contractors in humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
While the timeline for Bruce's potential confirmation remains uncertain, her nomination follows Trump's announcement of another significant appointment, Mike Waltz, for the ambassador role at the UN, which is pending Senate approval. Presently, the acting ambassador is Dorothy Shea, a seasoned diplomat who held the deputy ambassador position in 2024.
As Trump's administration continues to navigate its foreign policy challenges, the nomination of individuals like Bruce aims to further consolidate a diplomatic approach firmly rooted in conservative values. The political landscape at the UN may soon see shifts reflecting this approach if her nomination is validated by the Senate.
