President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will be naming Kari Lake as the next director of the Voice of America.

Voice of America is a media network broadcast internationally in over 40 languages. It is funded by the U.S. government and provides “news, information, and cultural programming through the internet, mobile and social media, radio, and television.” It originally debuted during World War II in 1942 to advance U.S. news and communications worldwide. 

Lake, who previously was a news anchor in Arizona from 1999 to 2021, left the media to pursue a political career. A political neophyte in 2022, she won the Republican nomination for Arizona governor that year. She followed that by winning the Republican nomination for Arizona’s U.S. Senate seat in 2024 to replace Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).

Trump announced the position with a post on his Truth Social account.

Lake expressed gratitude for the position in a post on X. She touted the significance of Voice of America and her enthusiasm to start her new role. 

 

“I am honored that President Trump has asked me to lead the Voice of America,” Lake posted. “@VOANews is a vital international media outlet dedicated to advancing the interests of the United States by engaging directly with people across the globe and promoting democracy and truth.”

“With an audience of 326 million people, Voice of America delivers information in 48 languages,” Lake added. “Under my leadership, the VOA will excel in its mission: chronicling America’s achievements worldwide. Thank you for putting your trust in me, President Trump. I look forward to leading the Voice of America, and I can’t wait to get started.”
