While the timeline for her potential assumption of the role remains unclear, Trump's nomination emphasizes his confidence in her abilities to enhance U.S. representation at the UN. In his announcement, he referred to Bruce as a "Great Patriot" and a "Bestselling Author," noting she would fulfill her responsibilities brilliantly. As the spokesperson for the State Department, she has backed several contentious U.S. foreign policy initiatives, including Trump's strict immigration policies and the use of private military forces in humanitarian efforts in Gaza.

While Tammy Bruce’s nomination awaits Senate confirmation, the status of Mike Waltz, Trump's nominee for UN ambassador, is also pending, with Dorothy Shea serving as the acting ambassador in the interim.
