President Donald Trump has retracted the nomination of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. The decision stems from concerns about the narrow Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
With only a slim margin separating Republicans and Democrats, Trump's administration is keen to maintain every seat. Stefanik, a staunch supporter of Trump and vocal critic of the UN, was perceived as a politically motivated choice.
Her departure could have risked a special election that might tilt in favor of Democrats. Trump emphasized the importance of keeping Stefanik in Congress to uphold the Republican legislative agenda.
He hinted at a future role for her in his administration. Meanwhile, Trump has yet to announce a new candidate for the UN ambassador role.
The move underscores the strategic importance of congressional seats as Republicans aim to solidify their influence in upcoming legislative battles.
