Washington: Donald Trump, who won the US presidential election, has offered Rep. Elise Stefanik from New York the post of US Ambassador to the UN, CNN reported citing a source.
Earlier, the Axios portal reported that Stefanik was a contender for this post.
Donald Trump, who had already served as US President after the 2016 election, won the presidential election on November 5. He became the first politician in the United States since the 19th century to return to the White House after a four-year hiatus. Trump’s victory was announced by all leading media outlets involved in vote counting: the Associated Press, Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris addressed supporters and announced that she would concede, while incumbent US President Joe Biden spoke with Trump and congratulated him.
The Electoral College from the states must vote for candidates in accordance with the will of the voters on December 17, and the new Congress will approve the results of the vote on January 6. The inauguration will take place on January 20.
