Trump to Pull Stefanik UN Ambassador Nomination to Protect Republican House Majority

President Donald Trump is pulling the nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to be United Nations Ambassador.

The move is designed protect House Republicans’ slim majority, said Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Jim Risch.

While Stefanik would likely have no trouble getting the necessary votes for confirmation, Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House with 218 seats, while Democrats hold 213 seats. There are currently four vacant seats.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, is expected to slow-walk the special election to replace Stefanik.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee advanced Stefanik’s nomination on Jan. 30.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
