President Donald Trump commented on Mike Huckabee’s confirmation to serve as United States Ambassador to Israel, saying that Huckabee is “going to be fantastic.”
In the Oval Office on Wednesday Trump signed Huckabee’s commission as U.S. Ambassador to Israel and a transmittal letter to Israeli President Isaac Herzog, “requesting that he accept” Huckabee’s credentials.
The Senate voted 53-46 to confirm Huckabee, with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) being the only Democrat to support his nomination, according to Fox News.
