“‘Proud To Be a Team Player”: Trump Withdraws Nomination of Elise Stefanik for U.N. to Protect GOP’s House Majority
With razor thin margins in the House and a non-participatory GOP voter in recent special elections, President Trump has pulled his nomination of Elise Stefanik to become the UN Ambassador, asking her to remain in Congress to reinforce the GOP’s slim House majority. Being confirmed as UN ambassador would require Stefanik to resign her seat.
Elise Stefanik is a patriot and has agreed to stay in Congress. We must pass President Trump’s entire legislative agenda.
Stefanik ‘proud to be a team player’ as White House pulls U.N. nomination
ABC News: “With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat,” the president added, referencing House Republicans’ narrow five-seat margin in the chamber.
Stefanik gave up her position in House leadership after being nominated by Trump for the U.N. role. She was replaced as House Republican Conference Chair by Michigan Rep. Lisa McClain.
In a Fox News interview Thursday evening, her first since Trump’s announcement, Stefanik said she’s “proud to be a team player” given the slim Republican majority in the House.
“This is about stepping up as a team, and I am doing that as a leader, to ensure that we can take hold of this mandate and deliver these historic results,” she said.
Stefanik said the decision to withdraw reached its “culmination” on Thursday and that she spoke with Trump multiple times.
In the interview, she acknowledged the razor-thin margin by which the GOP maintains control of the House. “It’s tough to count these votes every day, and we’re going to continue to defy the political prognosticators and deliver victory on behalf of President Trump and, importantly, the voters across this country,” she said.
Stefanik also pointed blame at Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, who she suggested might have dragged her feet on holding a special election to replace her.
Earlier Thursday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would invite Stefanik “to return to the leadership table immediately” and thanked her for her “selfless decision” to agree to withdraw her nomination. But a source familiar told ABC News that McClain does not plan to resign from her role. It’s unclear what role, if any, Stefanik would hold in House Republican leadership as the top roles are currently filled. Leadership could create a new position for her, but nothing had been formally decided.
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. I have asked Elise, as one of my biggest Allies, to remain in Congress to help me deliver Historic Tax Cuts, GREAT Jobs, Record Economic Growth, a Secure Border, Energy Dominance, Peace Through Strength, and much more, so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat. The people love Elise and, with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day. There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations. Therefore, Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People. Speaker Johnson is thrilled! I look forward to the day when Elise is able to join my Administration in the future. She is absolutely FANTASTIC. Thank you Elise!
Elise Stefanik is truly a great leader and a devoted patriot. Today’s selfless decision shows America what those of us who work with her already know. She is deeply devoted to her country and fully committed to see President Trump’s agenda succeed in Congress. It is well known…
