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 the New York Republican Stefanik since the beginning of Trump’s term in January has repeatedly been crucial in helping the GOP caucus pass key legislation.
The full Senate for nearly two months had held off on voting on her ambassadorship nomination, after it was recommended by the Foreign Relations Committee, because of concerns that her leaving the House would threaten Trump’s legislative agenda.
The GOP caucus currently holds 218 seats in the House, with Democrats holding 213 seats.
Trump, in a social media post Thursday, wrote, “As we advance our America First Agenda, it is essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress.”
“We must be unified to accomplish our Mission, and Elise Stefanik has been a vital part of our efforts from the very beginning,” Trump wrote in the Truth Social post. “With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat.”

Thank the Good Lord. Elises’ talents are greatly needed to fight the criminally/mentally insane in the Empire of Noo Yawkistan, ruled by the rat-faced Queen sociopath Hocus Pocus Hochul.
We can’t afford to drop any more MAGA patriots in the House — at all — especially with the present margin. Elise is tougher than 98+% of the Republican House… she’s a MAGA Warrior.
There has to be someone who is skilled at playing 5th dimension chess and only wants the appointment for a limited time… hopefully it won’t be too long until the Donald gives the globalist ‘U.N.’ psychopaths a double middle finger salute combined with sayonara.
I prayed there would be a change in that appointment and I have a feeling there were masses of others who prayed for the same… in fact, there had to be. My track record for having my prayers answered is unremarkable.
