Fox News: Trump reveals why he pulled Stefanik's UN ambassador nomination: 'Cannot take a chance'
President Trump withdrew Rep. Elise Stefanik's nomination for U.N. ambassador, citing concerns about maintaining a slim Republican majority in the House. He emphasized the importance of keeping her in Congress to ensure the passage of his agenda, especially with upcoming special elections in Florida.
The GOP currently holds a narrow 218-213 majority, and the races in Florida's 1st and 6th Congressional Districts are critical for maintaining that control. Despite concerns over fundraising disparities favoring Democratic candidates, Trump expressed confidence in the Republican candidates, particularly in the 1st District.

The U.S. has announced it will cease funding 83% of USAID programs, which could significantly impact global humanitarian efforts. This comes amid a broader trend of inward-looking policies in developed nations.
