The Senate has confirmed former NFL star Herschel Walker as the U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas. This diplomatic appointment follows Walker's unsuccessful 2022 Senate bid in Georgia. Walker, a Heisman Trophy winner, is the first ambassador to the Bahamas appointed in over a decade. His confirmation occurred as part of a large group of Trump-era nominees approved "en bloc" by Senate Republicans.
