  • Trump Withdraws Stefanik's UN Ambassador Nomination, Keeps Her in House

    Trump Withdraws Stefanik's UN Ambassador Nomination, Keeps Her in House
    2025/05/15
    In a surprising turn of political events, President Donald Trump has withdrawn Representative Elise Stefanik's nomination to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The announcement came on March 27, 2025, when Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that he had asked Stefanik to remain in Congress instead of taking up the diplomatic post.

    The decision appears to be primarily motivated by concerns over the slim Republican majority in the House of Representatives. Trump stated, "With a very tight Majority, I don't want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise's seat." He emphasized that "The people love Elise and, with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day."

    Stefanik, who represents New York's 21st congressional district and is currently serving her sixth term, was one of the first individuals selected for a position in Trump's administration following his re-election in November. She has established herself as one of Trump's staunchest supporters over the years, even referring to herself as "Ultra-MAGA."

    While the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had advanced her nomination for the ambassador position, Stefanik's confirmation by the full Senate had been delayed for months. A confirmation vote had been scheduled for April 2, 2025, but will no longer take place.

    Trump indicated that Stefanik would rejoin the House leadership team and "continue to fight for our amazing American People." House Speaker Johnson expressed his enthusiasm about this development, calling Stefanik "deeply devoted to her country" and stating that he would "invite her to return to the leadership table immediately." Stefanik had previously served as Republican conference chair in the last Congress.

    Prior to the withdrawal, Stefanik had already held farewell events across her North Country district and had been posting retrospectives of her work in the region on social media. Both political parties had been preparing for a special election for her seat. Democrats had nominated St. Lawrence County dairy farmer Blake Gendebien, while Republicans had not yet selected their candidate. Gendebien has indicated he will continue his candidacy into the general election in 2026.

    During her confirmation hearing with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in January, Stefanik had emphasized the importance of UN reform and American leadership in global affairs. She stated that "the world is looking for us to lead" and stressed the need for the U.S. to maintain its position in UN decision-making spaces.

    Trump concluded his announcement by noting that "There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations" and that he looks forward to the day when Stefanik might join his administration in the future.

  • "Stefanik Withdraws UN Ambassador Nomination: GOP Seeks Congressional Majority Amid Trump's Second Term"

    "Stefanik Withdraws UN Ambassador Nomination: GOP Seeks Congressional Majority Amid Trump's Second Term"
    2025/05/13
    In a surprising turn of events, Elise Stefanik will not become the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, despite being nominated by President Donald Trump following his reelection in November. On March 27, 2025, Trump announced he was withdrawing Stefanik's nomination, citing the necessity of maintaining Republican seats in Congress where the party currently holds a razor-thin majority.

    The New York Republican's nomination had been in limbo for months after advancing out of committee in late January. House Republicans' slim majority of 218 seats compared to Democrats' 213 made Stefanik's departure from Congress potentially problematic for passing legislation.

    In his announcement on Truth Social, Trump emphasized unity in accomplishing their mission, stating, "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." The president has not yet named a replacement nominee for the UN Ambassador position, which remains the last unfilled Cabinet seat in his administration.

    Speaker of the House Mike Johnson praised Stefanik as "selfless" and "patriotic" following the announcement. However, her future role in House leadership remains uncertain. While Trump indicated she would rejoin the House Leadership Team, Johnson stated on Tuesday that all leadership posts are currently filled.

    The decision has prompted mixed reactions in New York's 21st district, which Stefanik represents. Susan McNeil, Fulton County Republican Chair, expressed both disappointment and relief: "I'm thrilled she's staying, I'm saddened that she's not our ambassador yet."

    Prior to the withdrawal of her nomination, Stefanik had been active in her ambassador-designate role. On March 3, she delivered an address at the Anti-Defamation League's "Never Is Now" Summit on combating antisemitism. During this speech, she promised that as UN Ambassador, she would not only defund UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) but would "totally dismantle it," calling it a "pro-Hamas terrorist front group."

    Stefanik has made a significant impact in her congressional district, including helping the Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department secure $4.5 million for a new emergency services building. This action earned her support across party lines, with Rick Yorkey, a Democrat and head of the department, stating, "She did actually come here when we asked her to, that was big and she put in the time and looked at the buildings here and secured that money for us. I don't know if too many others would have done that."

    The withdrawal reflects growing concern among House Republicans that their historically slim majority could be at risk, particularly with two special elections in Florida approaching. The loss of even a few seats could shift the House majority to Democrats and potentially derail the Trump administration's legislative agenda.

  • Elise Stefanik's UN Ambassador Nomination Withdrawn Amid Tight House Majority

    Elise Stefanik's UN Ambassador Nomination Withdrawn Amid Tight House Majority
    2025/05/11
    Elise Stefanik's nomination to serve as the United States ambassador to the United Nations has been withdrawn. President Donald Trump announced the decision on March 27, 2025, citing concerns about the slim Republican majority in the House of Representatives.

    Trump posted the announcement on Truth Social, writing, "I have asked Elise, one of my biggest allies, to remain in Congress." He emphasized that with the tight majority, he didn't want to risk losing her 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," Trump stated.

    The withdrawal comes after nearly two months of delay in the Senate vote on her ambassadorship nomination, which had already been recommended by the Foreign Relations Committee. The concern stemmed from the fact that Republicans currently hold only 218 seats in the House, compared to Democrats' 213 seats, making Stefanik's vote crucial for passing key legislation in Trump's agenda.

    The timing of the withdrawal is notable as it came just days before two special elections in Florida to replace Republican congressmen who left their seats to join the Trump administration. Additional concerns existed around the potential for New York Governor Kathy Hochul to delay a special election to fill Stefanik's seat if she had moved to the UN position.

    Before the nomination was withdrawn, Stefanik had already begun representing herself as the Ambassador-Designate to the United Nations. On March 3, she delivered an address at the Anti-Defamation League's "Never Is Now" Summit, which focuses on combating antisemitism. During this speech, she made strong statements about her intentions at the UN, including a promise to "not only just defund UNRWA, we will totally dismantle it," referring to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

    Stefanik, a New York Republican, remains a key ally for Trump in Congress, where she has been instrumental in advancing his legislative agenda since the beginning of his term in January. Her constituent service record includes responding to over 530,000 constituent inquiries and closing more than 15,000 constituent cases.

    The White House has not yet announced a new nominee for the UN ambassador position, though Trump indicated there are others who could fill the role effectively. For now, Stefanik continues her work in the House of Representatives, representing New York's 21st congressional district.
