“President Donald Trump on Thursday withdrew his nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Trump cited the razor-thin majority that Republicans hold in the House of Representatives for his decision to pull Stefanik’s name from consideration by the Senate for the U.N. post. The vote of Stefanik, a New York Republican, has repeatedly been crucial in helping the GOP caucus pass key legislation since the beginning of Trump’s term in January. … ‘With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat.’ If Stefanik left the House, her seat would be filled by a special election in New York. Trump did not say who he would now nominate for the U.N. ambassador slot.” (03/27/25)
