Senate confirms Mike Waltz as Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations after months of delays
September 19, 2025
The Senate confirmed Mike Waltz to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. The bipartisan vote on Friday filled the last vacancy in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet after eight months of delays and the withdrawal of a previous nominee. The Senate did not vote on a separate matter, which would formally designate Waltz as the U.S. representative at the General Assembly, due to objections from Democrats. That is according to a person familiar with the Senate deliberations. Still, the White House said Waltz will participate in the annual U.N. gathering next week as ambassador.
