Trump reportedly offers Stefanik job as UN ambassador
SUMMARY
President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly offered Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) the position of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, according to a CNN report. Stefanik, 39, who has been a strong ally of Trump, was seen as one of the leading contenders for the role, which would mark a significant step in her political career. She was previously considered a runner-up for Trump’s vice presidential pick in 2020 and has gained national prominence for her outspoken support of Trump and her leadership within the Republican Party. Earlier this week, Stefanik was reelected to represent New York’s 21st Congressional District in a resounding victory. However, with her new potential appointment, a special election will be held to fill her seat. The district, which leans Republican (R+4), is expected to elect another Republican to succeed her.
