After eight months in office and amid interminable Democratic delays, President Donald Trump has finally had every appointed member of his Cabinet confirmed by the Senate.

That achievement was reached on Friday with the belated but bipartisan confirmation of Mike Waltz as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to Fox News.

Waltz, who will now lead the U.S. delegation to the international body, was confirmed just days ahead of the next General Assembly meeting at the U.N. headquarters in New York City.

Finally confirmed

Mike Waltz, a former Green Beret soldier and retired U.S. Army National Guard colonel, served as a Republican congressman from Florida for several terms before joining President Trump's administration in January as the national security adviser.

He was later removed from that position following the "Signalgate" controversy earlier this year, in which a liberal journalist was inadvertently invited to join a private group chat about impending military strikes on the Houthis terrorists in Yemen, but he did not fall entirely out of the president's favor.

On May 1, Trump announced the nomination of Waltz to be the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., and wrote at that time, "From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation’s Interests first. I know he will do the same in his new role."

According to Fox News, Waltz was finally confirmed on Friday with a 47-45 vote, in which three Democrats -- Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) -- joined with the Republicans to approve him, while Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) joined the rest of the Democrats in voting against his confirmation.

After the vote was finished, Waltz posted on X, "THANK YOU President Trump & the U.S. Senate for your trust and confidence to Make the UN Great Again," followed by the hashtag #MUNGA and a U.S. flag emoji.

Problems with the confirmation

Despite having been nominated by the president in May, Waltz, like so many other of Trump's appointees, was only just now confirmed by the Senate so many months later because of incessant Democratic procedural obstructions and delays.

In fact, according to Politico, Waltz's nomination had to be approved twice by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after Democrats objected to his initial advancement over alleged violations of arcane Senate rules.

Interestingly enough, the outlet noted that while Waltz is now confirmed as the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. and as the nation's top representative on the U.N. Security Council, the Senate did not hold a vote on his separate nomination to be the top U.S. representative in the General Assembly, which could potentially cause problems when that body meets next week.

Complicating matters even further is the fact that the Senate will be in recess next week, meaning the apparent oversight will likely not be addressed promptly.

Not Trump's first choice

Fox News reported that Waltz was not President Trump's first choice to be his ambassador to the U.N., as that honor was initially bestowed on Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), though her nomination was eventually withdrawn after it was determined that her presence and leadership remained necessary in the closely split House.

During his confirmation hearings, Waltz discussed his desire to implement much-needed reforms at the U.N. to ensure that it would continue to be the "one place in the world where everyone can talk," as well as to realign the body with "its core mission of peacemaking."
