President-elect Donald Trump chose Tammy Bruce, a longtime Fox News contributor, for State Department spokesperson.
The department spokesperson does not require Senate confirmation, but it’s nonetheless one of U.S. diplomacy’s most publicly visible positions. Foreign governments closely watch the spokesperson‘s regular televised briefings to track changes in U.S. policy.
In his late Friday announcement on social media, Trump described Bruce as "a highly respected political analyst who understood the power and importance of ‘MAGA’ early on."
"As one of the longest serving News Contributors, Tammy has brought TRUTH to the American People for over two decades. I know she will bring that same strength of conviction and fearless spirit to her new position as State Department Spokesperson," Trump wrote.
The current official representative of the State Department, Matthew Miller, has been in office since April 2023 after his predecessor, Ned Price, resigned from his post, becoming senior adviser to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, and in February 2024 was appointed deputy US Permanent Representative to the UN.
