Tammy Bruce, a former liberal activist in the 1990s, has transitioned into a prominent Independent Conservative voice, known for her work on Fox News, talk radio, books, and as a columnist for The Washington Times.
On Friday night, President-elect Donald Trump announced her appointment as the spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State in his upcoming administration.
The Trump-Vance Transition Team issued a statement:
“It is my great honor to announce that Tammy Bruce will be joining our incredible Nominee for United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State.
Tammy is a highly respected political analyst who understood the power and importance of ‘MAGA’ early on. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science at the University of Southern California and, after being a liberal activist in the 1990s, saw the lies and fraud of the Radical Left, and quickly became one of the strongest Conservative voices on Radio and Television.
As one of the longest-serving News Contributors, Tammy has brought TRUTH to the American People for over two decades. I know she will bring that same strength of conviction and fearless spirit to her new position as State Department Spokesperson.
Congratulations Tammy!”

Bruce’s journey from liberal activism to conservatism has been notable. She was the director of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) and worked on several Democratic campaigns, including those of Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein in the 1990s, as well as the Clinton presidential campaign. However, the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal marked a turning point in her political views.
In her own words, she “saw the light” and embraced libertarian and conservative ideals. Beyond her political work, Bruce holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Southern California, where she graduated cum laude. She is currently pursuing a PhD at Claremont Graduate University. Bruce has credited authors like Ray Bradbury and George Orwell for sparking her interest in politics and individual liberty during her youth.
A native of Los Angeles, Bruce splits her time between New York and Los Angeles.
