Trump names Herschel Walker as ambassador to Bahamas

President-elect Trump said Tuesday he would nominate former NFL player and one-time Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker to serve as his ambassador to 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," Trump posted on Truth Social.

Trump noted Walker previously served as a co-chair for the White House's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition during his first term.
