Tammy Bruce, a former Fox News host and State Department spokesperson, has been rapidly promoted by President Trump to serve as deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce has been a prominent figure in the administration since the start of the president's second term, handling media duties during major international events such as the Iran-Israel bombings. Her nomination continues the president's trend of appointing former television personalities to key government positions, a move that has drawn both criticism and praise.
Bruce's recent comments and her handling of sensitive foreign policy issues have placed her in the spotlight, with her nomination now pending Senate confirmation. The process is expected to be contentious, as Bruce's political transformation and outspoken support for the president's policies have made her a polarizing figure. If confirmed, she will step into a significant diplomatic role at a time when the United States lacks a permanent leader at the United Nations.
