President Trump pulls Rep. Elise Stefanik's nomination for U.N. Ambassador, citing the need to maintain Republican control in Congress.
The White House has officially withdrawn Rep. Elise Stefanik's nomination for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, a surprising shift after her confirmation had been delayed due to concerns over the Republican Party's slim House majority. President Donald Trump confirmed the decision on Thursday through a post on Truth Social, emphasizing the importance of retaining every Republican seat in Congress. He acknowledged Stefanik’s vital role in his political efforts and asked her to remain in the House, where her influence has been crucial. Initially, Stefanik, a New York Republican, was considered a safe and uncontroversial choice for the role, with her nomination advancing in late January. However, ongoing tensions over the tight Republican margin in the House stalled her confirmation process. Despite expectations that the nomination might advance soon, recent developments with U.S. House special elections in Florida prompted a shift in strategy to keep her in Congress, where her presence is seen as pivotal for the party's success. via The Press Republican
