Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) expressed her disappointment after President Trump withdrew her nomination for U.S. Ambassador to the UN, directing blame at Speaker Mike Johnson instead. The withdrawal occurred amid concerns over the thin Republican majority in the House, exacerbated by recent scandals involving former Florida Republicans. Stefanik had yet to step down from her congressional position, as uncertainty loomed over the GOP seats. Trump praised her, urging her to continue in Congress and calling her 'absolutely FANTASTIC', highlighting her anticipated shift to a cushier ambassador role with significant perks.
"Elise Stefanik was enthusiastic about her nomination as U.S. Ambassador to the UN, but after its withdrawal, she blames House Speaker Mike Johnson for her disappointment."
"After weeks of delays regarding her confirmation hearing, the White House announced they were pulling Stefanik's nomination, which led to her blaming Speaker Johnson."
