CABRERA: We have more breaking news on this Saturday. CNN has just learned State department spokeswoman, Heather Nauert has now dropped out of the running to be the next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. President Trump had said he would nominate her to replace Nikki Haley. CNN's Kristen Holmes is back with us. Kristen, what reason did she give?</s>KRISTEN HOLMES, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, so here's what we know so far Ana. Essentially Trump had announced the pick as you said but that nomination had never been sent to the Senate. And just to give you a little bit of context here, Nauert has been the spokesperson at the State department since April, she is really won over President Trump's support through talking about his America first policy and in addition to that, she really won over Secretary Pompeo, traveling the world with him. Now I want to read you part of a statement that she issued, she of course said that she was grateful to President Trump and Secretary Pompeo but this is the part I want to single out here, " - however the past two months have been gruelling for my family and therefore it is in the best interest of my family that I withdraw my name from consideration. Serving in the administration for the past two years has been one of the highest honors of my life and I will always be grateful to the President, the Secretary and my colleagues at the State Department for their support." And so just to give you a little bit more about this confirmation process it was always expected that it was going to be a gruelling process and an uphill battle. If confirmed, she would have been one of the most inexperienced Ambassadors to the United Nations. She didn't have that foreign policy background. She didn't have that political background but I do want to also note that the state department said President Trump will be announcing a new nominee shortly. Ana.</s>CABRERA: All right, Kristen Holmes, thank you very much, we'll be right back.
