Trump Taps Pro-War Neocon Elise Stefanik as UN Ambassador

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : The nomination is one of the first major appointments Trump has made since winning the election last week.
41% : Then she gained national notice when she defended Trump during his first impeachment, after which she became one of his most reliable supporters.
26% : Trump may not be bringing back all of his old appointees, but he continues to surround himself with hardliners.
21% : Like Trump, Stefanik has been an opponent of the nuclear deal with Iran from its inception.
20% : Ambassadors to the U.N. typically have little influence in shaping policy, but the choice of Stefanik is consistent with reporting that Trump plans to pursue a more aggressive Iran policy in the new term.
13% : Reagan gave the job to Jeane Kirkpatrick, George W. Bush chose John Bolton (but had to settle for making him a recess appointment), and Trump appointed Nikki Haley in his first term.
