President-elect Donald Trump has offered the job of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to Rep. Elise Stefanik and the New York Republican has accepted the offer, a senior source close to the presidential transition confirmed to CBS News. The New York Post was first to report the developments, with statements from Trump and Stefanik. CNN also reported the news, citing two sources.

"I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter," Trump said in a statement to CBS News.

Stefanik confirmed her acceptance of the role in a statement to the Post. "I am truly honored to earn President Trump's nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations," Stefanik said. "During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate."

The post requires Senate confirmation.
