Delays to Mike Waltz's UN bid make it all but impossible he's in the role for major world meeting
Procedural delays and partisan disputes in the Senate have postponed Mike Waltz's confirmation as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, leaving the post vacant for nearly six months.
- Mike Waltz's appointment as the American representative to the United Nations is experiencing delays, making it unlikely he will take on the position before the General Assembly convenes on Monday.
- The U.N. ambassador role had remained unfilled for almost half a year following the withdrawal of nominee Elise Stefanik and procedural obstacles imposed by Senate Democrats.
- Waltz testified in July that U.N. revenue has quadrupled over 20 years without corresponding peace increases and emphasized foreign aid must align with U.S. interests.
- The White House sent Waltz's paperwork to the Senate, and Republicans are poised to vote on his confirmation along with over 25 other Trump nominees Wednesday.
- Delays in confirmation and Democratic opposition suggest Waltz's arrival coincides with major funding cuts and significant changes for the U.N. amid the organization's 80th anniversary.
