The White House has pulled Rep. Elise Stefanik’s nomination to be United Nations ambassador amid worries about the House’s narrow GOP majority, three people with knowledge of the decision, granted anonymity to share details, told POLITICO.
The New York Republican was expected to be easily confirmed to the post, with more than enough votes to pass, but concern about Republicans’ narrow majority stalled her confirmation.
Stefanik had yet to resign her seat.
