'Crushed' Elise Stefanik 'Scrambled' To Convince Trump To Change His Mind About Pulling Her Nomination [View all]

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) reportedly “scrambled” to get President Donald Trump to reverse course on withdrawing her nomination as Ambassador to the United Nations.

On Thursday, CBS News reported that Stefanik was under pressure to withdraw her name from consideration because Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House, which they control 218-213. Four seats are vacant and special elections will be held to fill them within the next few months. Two of those seats – AZ-7 and TX-18 – are solidly Democratic districts. The other two districts – FL-1 and FL-6 – are normally solidly red, but Republicans are concerned about the poor polling numbers of their nominee Randy Fine in FL-6, where his Democratic opponent is polling within the margin of error.

Shortly after the CBS News report dropped, Trump pulled Stefanik’s nomination. “As we advance our America First Agenda, it is essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress,” he wrote.

According to sources who spoke with Axios, Stefanik did not exactly go – or rather, remain, quietly. “Stefanik was crushed and scrambled to reverse Trump’s decision before he announced it on Truth Social, according to people familiar with the matter,” the outlet reported. “But for Trump, the margins were too close for comfort.”
