President-elect Donald Trump tapped another Fox News contributor for a prominent position in his next term, selecting conservative radio host Tammy Bruce as the next State Department spokesperson.

Trump previously nominated former Fox News hosts Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary and Sean Duffy for Transportation Secretary.

Bruce, who received a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from the University of Southern California, is expected to work for Trump's Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio if he's confirmed by the Senate.

"Tammy is a highly respected political analyst who understood the power and importance of 'MAGA' early on," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "After being a liberal activist in the 1990s, [Bruce] 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 continued. "I know she will bring that same strength of conviction and fearless spirit to her new position as State Department Spokesperson."
