Fetterman Backs Trump Nominee Stefanik for UN Ambassador Role

The Democratic senator emphasizes bipartisan support for the pro-Israel nominee and her plans to reform UN operations.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) confirmed his support for Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Fetterman praised Stefanik’s commitment to defunding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), citing concerns over alleged Hamas infiltration and anti-Israel bias.
The senator described his meeting with Stefanik as productive, highlighting their shared stance on combating antisemitism and promoting strong national security policies.
This marks another instance of Fetterman crossing party lines, as he has also expressed support for other Trump nominees, including Sen. Marco Rubio for Secretary of State.
Fetterman’s bipartisan approach continues to draw attention, as he emphasizes dialogue and collaboration over party divisions in key confirmation decisions.
