Washington, D.C., March 28, 2025 — President Donald Trump has withdrawn Representative Elise Stefanik’s nomination for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, citing concerns over the GOP’s slim 218-213 House majority. The administration aims to maintain legislative stability and avoid any risk of losing crucial votes.
Stefanik, a key Trump ally, reaffirmed her commitment to serving in Congress and advancing the administration’s agenda. House Speaker Mike Johnson supported the decision, stressing the need for party unity. The White House has yet to announce a new nominee for the U.N. ambassador role.
