Senate panel advances Waltz nomination for UN ambassador with Democratic support
UNITED STATES SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE, JUL 24 – The Senate Foreign Relations Committee advanced Waltz's nomination 12-10 with support from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, highlighting bipartisan backing despite opposition linked to the Signalgate controversy.
- By advancing Waltz’s nomination, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee supported him with a 12–10 vote, with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen joining all but one Republican.
- After the Signalgate controversy, Mike Waltz was ousted as national security adviser, and President Donald Trump then picked him to be UN ambassador after Rep. Elise Stefanik withdrew.
- Amid reported internal splits, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen highlighted divisions within the Trump administration between traditional foreign-policy figures and so-called `restrainers`, calling Waltz a `moderating force`.
- On Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul voiced opposition over Waltz’s views on Afghanistan withdrawal, and he ultimately voted with other Democrats except Sen. Shaheen to block the nomination.
- With the committee’s approval, Waltz’s nomination now goes to the full U.S. Senate for confirmation, highlighting the messy, deal-driven nature of Washington politics.
