A well known and loved personality at Fox News has been chosen by President Donald Trump to head to the State Department. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be receiving assistance from Tammy Bruce, a former conservative radio host who became part of the Trump administration earlier in 2025.
Bruce will be placed in her new position of deputy representative to the United Nations after she is approved by the U.S. Senate. Given the Republican Party has control over the upper chamber of Congress, it should be easy, breezy. As long as there aren’t any turncoats.
With the last dying breaths of the Republican Party establishment causing problems here and there, it wouldn’t be surprising, but let’s hope they stay on board with the president.
Bruce will be serving under Mike Waltz, former national security advisor to Trump, who was removed from his post after the Signalgate debacle earlier this year. Waltz is currently also awaiting to be confirmed to a permanent position as the administration’s chief U.N. ambassador.
Trump had nothing but praise for Bruce, calling her a “Great Patriot, Television Personality, and Bestselling Author,” in a post on Truth Social announcing her new position.
“Since the beginning of my Second Term, Tammy has been serving with distinction as Spokesperson of the State Department, where she did a fantastic job. Tammy Bruce will represent our Country brilliantly at the United Nations,” wrote the president. “Congratulations Tammy!”

Bruce, 62, cut against the grain in State Department briefings, often dismissing reporters’ questions as biased or refusing to fully answer them. She took to rearranging chairs for journalists without notice, leaving them less prepared to rally against her retorts. It’s not yet clear who will lead the State Department’s communications efforts. Bruce’s deputy in her current role is Tommy Pigott, who previously worked as a spokesman for the Republican National Committee.
As an on-air talent at Fox, Bruce was a vociferous defender of the Trump administration. A former Democratic activist and past president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women, she spoke passionately about her decision to leave the left behind and fold into conservative media during the height of the Tea Party movement, the Washington Post reported.
She is one of several former Fox News anchors to join the administration, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth being the most prominent. Last week, former judge and Fox contributor Jeanine Pirro was sworn in to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, where she had served since her appointment in May.
Current deputy director of the FBI, Dan Bongino, left Fox News in 2023 to build his own online program and following. Then, of course, there’s Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence who also worked as a contributor with Fox News.
Lots of Fox alumni. So many, in fact, it seems if you do your job well, you can end up with a position in the White House!
