Trump Nominates Fox Presenter as State Department Spokesperson

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Tammy Bruce has been nominated as the new spokesperson for the US Department of State.

“It is my great honor to announce that Tammy Bruce will be joining our incredible nominee for United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State,” Trump said in a statement.

“Tammy is a highly respected political analyst who recognized the power and importance of ‘MAGA’ early on,” Trump noted. He added, “As one of the longest-serving news contributors, Tammy has delivered 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.”

Tammy Bruce, a well-known conservative voice and former Democrat, is a Fox News contributor, radio host, and former president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW).

She earned a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Southern California. After her early career as a liberal activist in the 1990s, Bruce became disillusioned with the radical left, transitioning to become one of the most prominent conservative voices on radio and television.
