Trump Picks Tammy Bruce for Deputy UN Ambassador
The News
President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he has nominated State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce to be the next deputy representative to the United Nations.
Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, in which he praised Bruce’s “fantastic” work as the chief spokeswoman at the State Department.
“I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Tammy Bruce, a Great Patriot, Television Personality, and Bestselling Author, as our next Deputy Representative of the United States to the United Nations, with the rank of Ambassador. Since the beginning of my Second Term, Tammy has been serving with distinction as Spokesperson of the State Department, where she did a fantastic job. Tammy Bruce will represent our Country brilliantly at the United Nations. Congratulations Tammy!” the president posted.
Reactions
Bruce thanked the president for the nomination in a post on X, adding that she will continue to advance “America First leadership and values” in the new role if she is confirmed.

The role is one of the last Trump is looking to fill after a blockade was launched on his remaining civilian nominees by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) just before the upper chamber’s August recess.
Caught up in that backlog is also the role of U.N. ambassador, which Trump nominated Mike Waltz for after the Signalgate controversy led to him departing his earlier role as national security adviser.
Waltz’s nomination has since advanced to the Senate floor after he overcame opposition from Democrats and one Republican, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).
Bruce would serve directly under Waltz if both were confirmed for the high-level posts, and would also assume his duties in the event of his absence.
It is unclear at this time who will take over Bruce’s role at the State Department, though Thomas Piggot currently serves as deputy spokesman.
