Mike Waltz Clears Key Hurdle To Serve As Trump’s UN Ambassador

Former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz’s nomination to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations cleared a key procedural hurdle Thursday morning.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee favorably reported Waltz’s nomination out of committee largely along party lines during a vote of 12 to 10. Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who frequently breaks with his party on foreign policy issues, was the lone GOP lawmaker to oppose advancing Waltz’s nomination.
