President-elect Donald Trump is just one month away from returning to the White House. In the weeks since he handily defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, Trump has been hard at work putting his administration together.

Indeed, Trump has been working overtime to assemble a team that will help him make America great again. Like most incoming presidents, he’s also been rewarding those who have been loyal to him for years by appointing them to roles in his administration.

One such person is the NFL legend Herschel Walker, who has been in Trump’s corner for nearly a decade. Trump has just tapped Walker for a new role that the former football star is sure to love!

From Truth Social:
I am pleased to nominate Herschel Walker as United States Ambassador to the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Herschel has spent decades serving as an Ambassador to our Nation’s youth, our men and women in the Military, and athletes at home and abroad.

A successful businessman, philanthropist, former Heisman Trophy winner, and NFL Great, Herschel has been a tireless advocate for youth sports. During my First Term, he served as Co-Chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Herschel has traveled to over 400 Military installations around the World, removing the stigma surrounding mental health. He represented the United States at the 1992 Winter Olympics as a member of the U.S. bobsled team.

Congratulations Herschel! You will make Georgia, and our entire Nation, proud, because we know you will always put AMERICA FIRST!

Walker Has Been Loyal To Trump For Years

Since the worlds of sports and entertainment have been completely overtaken by radical liberals, it’s rare to find a celebrity that is brave enough to publicly stand by Trump. Walker, however, is one such celebrity. Despite the backlash he’s received from hateful leftists, Walker has never wavered from his support for Trump.

After playing in the NFL for twelve seasons, Walker became a businessman in the food processing industry. He later entered the world of politics and was an outspoken advocate of Trump’s throughout his first term. During the 2022 midterms, Walker launched a Republican senatorial campaign in Georgia against Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock. This ended up being one of the most highly followed races that election cycle. In fact, the race was so close that a runoff election was required to decide it. While Warnock ultimately narrowly came out on top, Walker’s conservative political activism continued.

Walker was active on the campaign trail for Trump in Georgia during this year’s presidential election. Now that Trump has tapped him to be the ambassador to the Bahamas, Walker must now be confirmed by the Senate. This may prove to be no easy task, however, as it’s been over a decade since the U.S. has had a permanent ambassador to the Bahamas. Indeed, various nominees have tried and failed to secure Senate confirmations for this position.

Nevertheless, we can’t help but have faith that Walker will be able to make this happen. He seems like the perfect person to be the U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas, so hopefully the Republican-majority Senate confirms him with no issues!

Key Takeaways: 

• Trump taps ex-NFL star Herschel Walker to be ambassador to the Bahamas.
• Walker has been loyal to Trump for years.
• Walker narrowly lost the 2022 Georgia senatorial race to Raphael Warnock in a runoff election.
