Michael Flynn, Per Report\">national security adviser<\/a> to President Donald Trump, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the ambassador to the United Nations after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-reps-call-for-investigation-into-texas-border-security-operation\/\" title=\"Democrat Reps Call for Investigation into Texas Border Security Operation\">prolonged delay<\/a>. The Senate confirmed Waltz with a 47-43 vote, just before Trump was scheduled to attend the U.N. General assembly in New York City. Waltz&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >nomination faced important opposition<\/a> from Democrats, causing delays and procedural hurdles, including having his nomination sent back to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee twice for technical reasons. Despite the challenges, Waltz&#8217;s confirmation was part of a broader, expedited batch of Trump governance nominees approved under new Senate rules that circumvented Democratic resistance. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Mike Waltz confirmed by Senate as Trump&rsquo;s UN ambassador&nbsp;after monthslong delay<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2235263\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>&rsquo;s pick for ambassador to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/united-nations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United Nations<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-waltz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mike Waltz<\/a>, was confirmed by the Senate on Friday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Waltz, who was Trump&rsquo;s national security adviser, was confirmed 47-43.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3815795\/doj-asks-supreme-court-unblock-trump-passport-gender-rule\/\">DOJ asks Supreme Court to unblock Trump passport gender rule<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3816023\/wa-state-ethics-complaint-conflict-of-interest\/\">More conflicts of interest alleged with WA State Executive Ethics Board complaint<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3815967\/texas-aaa-credit-rating\/\">Texas maintains AAA credit rating from multiple agencies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Waltz&rsquo;s confirmation came ahead of Trump&rsquo;s attendance at the U.N.
