On Thursday, President Donald Trump posted to his Truth Social account that he was pulling the nomination of Elise Stefanik to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. There are no scandals or controversies here that would prevent Stefanik from being confirmed — it's just that Trump believes "it is essential that we maintain EVERY Republican seat in Congress."

"With a very tight Majority, I don't want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise's seat," Trump said.

This sounds like solid reasoning to us, prioritizing America First over the UN.

That's an interesting thought.

The Republican majority in the House is way too slim to take chances. It looks like Trump has a lot of support for this move.
