Trump appoints nominee for State Department spokesperson
Tammy Bruce, former Fox News host, is set to replace Matthew Miller as the spokesperson for the State Department in the upcoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump.

Trump announced the appointment via a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday. He stated, “It is my great honor to announce that Tammy Bruce will be joining our incredible nominee for US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as spokesperson for the US Department of State.”

Bruce, who was a contributor at Fox News until Friday, has been recognized by Trump as “a highly respected political analyst” who “understood the power and importance of MAGA,” referring to his slogan 'Make America Great Again,' early in her career. Trump remarked, “She… saw the lies and fraud of the radical left, and quickly became one of the strongest Conservative voices on radio and television. As one of the longest serving news contributors, Tammy has brought truth to the American people for over two decades.” He emphasized that Bruce “will bring that same strength of conviction and fearless spirit” to her new role.

At 62 years old, Bruce began her tenure at Fox News in 2005 and became the host of *Get Tammy Bruce* on the Fox Nation streaming service in 2019. According to her Fox News biography, she was previously a Democrat but registered as unaffiliated in 2008, aiming to use her experience as a liberal community organizer to “expose and help defeat the leftist agenda.”

An outspoken feminist, Bruce once led the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women and has authored several books, including *The New American Revolution*, *The Death of Right and Wrong*, and *The New Thought Police*. Her most recent book, *Fear Itself: Exposing the Left’s Mind-Killing Agenda*, published last summer, criticizes the “bureaucratic” US administration for “weaponizing fear” to gain “unprecedented government control over our lives.”

Trump is set to be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on January 20. He has already revealed numerous future officials since defeating Joe Biden in the November election. Unlike many others appointed to various roles in the new administration, Bruce will not require Senate confirmation for her position.
