President Trump explained on Friday that he decided to withdraw Rep. Elise Stefanik’s nomination for the role of US ambassador to the United Nations due to the GOP’s fragile majority in the House and the pressing need for every Republican vote.
Recognizing the narrow margin the party currently holds, Trump said he didn’t want to risk losing a seat in Congress. “We have a few elections going on,” he noted, just days after Stefanik expressed enthusiasm about her UN appointment on Fox News.
