President-elect Trump began endorsing fellow Republicans this week to replace members of Congress who have vacated their seats to join his Cabinet. The endorsements come amid fears that the party's razor-thin majority in the House – the size of which still remains undetermined – could be in jeopardy as a result of Trump's selections from the lower chamber. Trump threw his support behind two Floridians, former GOP state Sen.
Trump, however, has not endorsed anyone to replace Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., the GOP House conference chair, whose solidly red seat in upstate New York will also be up for grabs if she is confirmed by the Senate to be the Trump administration's ambassador to the United Nations. Republicans in the House of Representatives are on track to have somewhere between a one- and three-vote majority once the few outstanding races are called.
