President-elect Donald Trump said on Dec. 17 that he has nominated former NFL player and Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas.

In a statement on Truth Social, the incoming president said he believes Walker, 62, is the ideal candidate for the role because he 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.”
