Trump is reportedly planning to withdraw his nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The reason? He wants to keep the Republican majority in the House intact.
Stefanik, a key Trump ally and influential GOP figure, was considered a strong contender for the UN role. However, if she left her House seat, it could create an opening that might be tough for Republicans to hold onto in the next election. Given the GOP’s slim majority, losing even one seat could make a big difference in their ability to push through legislation.
By keeping Stefanik in Congress, Trump is prioritizing party strategy over international appointments. This move signals that, for now, he values her political presence in Washington more than sending her to the UN.
