President Donald Trump says he will withdraw Representative Elise Stefanik’s nomination to serve as the US ambassador to the United Nations, citing Republicans’ narrow hold on the House.
“With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Thursday. “There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations.”
