President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly extended an offer to Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik to serve as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, as reported by Politico and confirmed by two sources speaking to far-left CNN.
Stefanik, who just secured a commanding reelection in New Yorkโs 21st Congressional District, has represented the district since 2015 and serves as the fourth-ranking Republican in the House as chair of the House Republican Conference.
Politico reported that her appointment would necessitate a special election in New Yorkโs 21st District, a solidly conservative constituency she has represented since 2015.
While Stefanikโs office has yet to confirm the news, the congresswoman hinted at her openness to joining Trumpโs administration.
In a recent interview with Sid Rosenberg on 77WABC according to Times Union, she affirmed her dedication to the president-electโs agenda.
โYou need people that are 100 percent loyal and understand that itโs President Trump who earned the majority of the American peopleโs vote and overwhelmingly won the electoral college,โ she said.
โHe needs strong allies. Iโm honored to have my name in the mix, but Iโm focused on serving the president however he sees fit, whether thatโs passing the agenda in Congress or serving in his administration,โ she added.
CNNโs Kaitlan Collinโs reported:
President-elect Donald Trump has offered Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik the job as US ambassador to the United Nations, two sources familiar told CNN on Sunday.
The New York congresswoman, the fourth-ranking House Republican, has been a strong ally of the president-elect and a major fundraiser for the GOP.
Earlier this year, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) vehemently defended her steadfast support for former President Donald Trump, clashing with host Shannon Bream over a New York Times hit piece.
The article in question portrayed Stefanik as a one-time skeptic of Trump who has since transformed into a vocal ally, a narrative Stefanik branded as a calculated smear.
Rep. Elise Stefanik was reported on the short list of possible contenders to be Trumpโs running mate at the time. Trump himself reportedly referred to Stefanik as โa killerโ during a dinner at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.
As a result, the far-left New York Times article interviewed several individuals claiming to be Stefanikโs former friends. They described Stefanikโs transformation into a Trump loyalist as surprising and inconsistent with her previous views.
Stefanik stood her ground: โThis is a false smear. Let me tell you a fact, Shannon. In 2016, I was attacked as the only elected Republican from the Northeast who voted for President Trumpโฆ To say that I didnโt support him is just false.โ
