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. CNN has reached out to Stefanik for comment. Stefanik, the House Republican Conference chair, has for years been one of Trump’s staunchest supporters in Congress. Her aggressive performance during his 2019 impeachment hearings made her a “Republican star,” as Trump himself said at the time.
Once a Trump skeptic — and occasional outright critic — during his 2016 presidential campaign and into the early days of his presidency, she shifted from detractor to defender — a move she explained was due in part due to Trump’s popularity in her upstate New York district. As Trump sought the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, she was among a handful of potential running mates, a role for which she openly jockeyed.
