Trump names Stefanik UN ambassador

"I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter," Trump said in a statement to the Post. 

Stefanik, chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, provided a statement of her own to the outlet. 

"I am truly honored to earn President Trump's nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations," Stefanik told the Post. "During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate. President Trump's historic landslide election has given hope to the American people and is a reminder that brighter days are ahead - both at home and abroad." 

By contrast, the Biden-Harris administration's U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, does not seek much press coverage.
