Fox News: Trump Pulls Elise Stefanik’s Nomination for U.N. Ambassador
EXCERPT:
ROBERTS: “The White House is pulling Elise Stefanik’s nomination for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. That according to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman James Risch. Let’s go to Chad Pergram on Capitol Hill. This isn’t a matter of whether or not she’d be confirmed, because she would easily. This is because of the fallout from if she is confirmed, Chad.”
PERGRAM: “Yeah. What happens here is I always say it’s about the math. There was some concern that they might not have sufficient votes in the House of Representatives, because if she were to leave to pass the big, beautiful bill, that’s something that’s been said around here, they’re very concerned about an upcoming set of special elections in Florida. They’re down a couple of members on the Republican side of the aisle there.”
