President-elect Donald Trump nominated Monica Crowley, a former official in his first presidency, on Wednesday to join his second administration as ambassador, assistant secretary of state, and chief of protocol of the United States of America.
In this role, Crowley will be the administration representative for major global events, including the FIFA World Cup in 2026, the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028, and the U.S. celebrating its 250th birthday in 2026.
“During my first term, Monica did an incredible job as assistant secretary of the Treasury for Public Affairs,” Trump said in a statement.

The president-elect also praised Crowley’s résumé, which includes her role as a Fox News host and contributor, a New York Times bestselling author, and a recipient of the Alexander Hamilton Award.

She joins Pete Hegseth, Trump’s defense secretary nominee, and former Fox and Friends Weekend co-host, Sean Duffy, Trump’s secretary of the Department of Transportation nominee, and Fox Business host and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Trump’s pick for ambassador to Israel, as officials who have all had a past stint on the conservative network.
