Elise Stefanik, the Republican representative from New York, is expected to be confirmed as ambassador to the United Nations on April 2, following delays caused by the slim margins of House Republicans. As the only Trump cabinet nominee yet to be confirmed, Stefanik's situation is unusual; she attended the cabinet meeting and has no seat in subcommittees. Senate Republicans are likely to advance her confirmation once two Republican seats are filled, easing the path for Speaker Mike Johnson who faces challenges in maintaining majority support during key votes.
"Elise Stefanik's confirmation to be U.N. ambassador was stalled due to House GOP's slim margins. Her pending confirmation reflects the unique dynamics within the party."
"Despite being a cabinet nominee, Stefanik's not yet confirmed. She attended cabinet meetings, showing her complex position in a limbo state as a current House member."
