Elise Stefanik, once a critic of Donald Trump, became one of his staunchest supporters, leading to her nomination as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. However, just before her expected confirmation, the nomination was rescinded due to Republican concerns about maintaining their House majority, which could be jeopardized by ongoing special elections. Despite this setback, Stefanik appeared on Fox News to express her support for Trump and maintain a positive outlook, attributing the withdrawal to external factors rather than any missteps on her part.
"I have been proud to be a team player. The president knows that."
"As you know, Kayleigh, I had my hearing the day after the inauguration, the hearing went incredibly smoothly, it passed by voice, and there's been universal praise for the nomination."
