With Nikki Haley stepping down as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations at the end of the year, President Donald Trump is reportedly considering former Michigan Senate candidate and Iraq War veteran John James to fill the post, according to Bloomberg.
Haley surprisingly announced her resignation in early October, possibly to pursue greater income opportunities in the private sector. Trump praised Haley’s service at the time, and said there were “many names” of potential replacements to consider.
Who is John James? James ran for Senate in Michigan, losing 52 percent to 46 percent against Democratic incumbent Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
James is a West Point graduate and former Army helicopter pilot who served in Iraq and who now owns a supply chain management business in Detroit called James Group International.

Sounds good to me.
Awesome!
Good that clickbait headline was annoying. Why did everyone have to adopt the Buzzfeed style of Journalism?
James is a good guy though.
It’s just a shame that Michigan did not select this outstanding individual.
I hope he is nominated.
There is no question, John James CANNOT be kept under wraps. His future looks bright. POTUS DJT, excellent choice. You certainly know the hows to find those we so need.
Would be good experience and set him up for another run in 2020.
Now, if we can just get blacks to stop voting for Democrats 90%+...
YES
“James is a West Point graduate and former Army helicopter pilot who served in Iraq”
Sounds very good.
John James has a great future, I hope that this will not be too big a step. This is like coming out of Single A minor league team up to a big league contender.
James would be an excellent pick, Shame he did not get that seat in Michigan.
He’d win, too. This is an outstanding idea.
WINNING!!!
Good, good.
Yass!
Ugh, too true. I get so annoyed reading The Blaze headlines ... they're almost all like that. Reminds me of those terrible ads that started showing up years ago "Lose weight with this one simple trick!". Honestly, I've just given up clicking through on anything where the headline seems to click-baity.
Wooooot!
So why’d they vote for stabenow ?
About a month ago, the media was reporting that President Trump had offered the position to Heather Nauert.
President Donald Trump is reportedly considering former Michigan Senate candidate and Iraq War veteran John James...who... ran for Senate in Michigan, losing 52 percent to 46 percent against Democratic incumbent Sen. Debbie Stabenow. James is a West Point graduate and former Army helicopter pilot who served in Iraq and who now owns a supply chain management business in Detroit called James Group International.
He lost, yes, but made a remarkably strong finish here in straight-ticket-Demwit country. Thanks TBP.
