Heather Nauert, the US State Department spokesperson, whom Trump had tapped to be the country’s next ambassador to the UN, has announced she has withdrawn from consideration.
Trump is expected to announce a new nominee soon, the State Department said. Nauert says she made the decision “in the best interest of [her] family,” which has endured two “grueling” months since her nomination. “Serving in the Administration for the past two years has been one of the highest honors of my life,” Nauert’s statement says.
Nauert was slated to succeed Nikki Haley, who announced she would be stepping down back in October 2018.
