“It’s my honor”: This was the first online reaction from Kimberly Guilfoyle after the Senate confirmed her appointment as US ambassador to Greece. Specifically, the new head of American diplomacy in the country added both Greek and US flags to her story about the NBC news regarding the Senate’s “green light” for her move to Athens.
Meanwhile, she received many congratulations, reposting several of them through related stories, including one from Emma Mitchem who wrote the word “finally” above the Axios article about the appointment of the new US ambassador to Greece.

Kimberly Guilfoyle’s appointment officially confirmed
The US Senate on Thursday evening confirmed 48 of President Trump’s nominees in a single 51-47 vote on September 18, 2025, after Republicans changed the rules to limit debate and speed up the process. Lawmakers voted along party lines to confirm 48 of Trump’s nominees, many of whom were destined for deputy secretary or assistant secretary positions in various agencies across the federal government, as well as ambassadorial posts.
The path to Kimberly Guilfoyle’s confirmation opened after the activation of the so-called “nuclear option,” meaning the rule change by the Republican majority that allowed confirmation of nominees in groups.
According to the original plan, Guilfoyle should have already been in our country by now. However, Democratic dissatisfaction with approving the “big and beautiful bill,” as President Trump called it, led them to decide not to support the appointment process, resulting in delays. Guilfoyle’s approval is considered particularly important for the US, as Washington seeks to further strengthen relations with Athens during a period of geopolitical realignments in the Eastern Mediterranean.
