List of ambassadors appointed by Joe Biden

This is a list of United States ambassadors appointed by the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden.

Biden is expected to appoint more ambassadors who are career members of the foreign service compared to former president Donald Trump, who deviated from the 70 percent norm by nominating 56 percent career foreign service members.[1] He is expected to make appointments who will restore America's diplomatic standing after the Trump administration, which included several major campaign donors who were not well received in their host countries.[2] Among the political appointees, more are expected to be policy experts and politicians rather than campaign bundlers.[1]

As of April 18, 2024, according to tracking by The Washington Post and Partnership for Public Service, 171 nominees have been confirmed, 34 nominees are being considered by the Senate, and 7 positions currently do not have nominees.[3]
