By a 53-43 evening vote, the Senate approved Bozell to fill the post vacated by former ambassador Reuben Brigety, who resigned in January.

"I am honored to have this opportunity to advance America's relationship with South Africa and deeply grateful for the faith President Trump has placed in my ability and commitment to do so," Bozell said following Thursday's vote. "I look forward to serving his administration and the nation in this important diplomatic mission," the newly-confirmed ambassador added.

Bozell served as president of the Media Research Center from its founding in 1987 until May of this year when he stepped down in order to answer Trump's call to serve in the administration. His son, ForAmerica President David Bozell, now leads the Media Research Center.

As ambassador, Bozell will serve as President Trump's highest-ranking representative and chief diplomat in South Africa. He will manage the US embassy, oversee all US operations and policy negotiations in South Africa. Ambassador Bozell will also address US human rights concerns concerning his host country, such as accusations that genocide against White descendants of European settlers (Afrikaners) is taking place in the country.

Senate Democrats had employed obstructionist tactics to prevent confirmation of Trump's nominees en masse, forcing Republicans to use their majority to change procedural rules in order to obtain confirmation votes. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
