Stefanik nomination pulled

President Trump’s decision to yank Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-N.Y.) nomination to be ambassador to the United Nations is prompting a plethora of questions about the New York Republican’s future on Capitol Hill.

In his statement announcing the move, Trump said the congresswoman would “rejoin the House Leadership Team.” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) echoed that plan, saying he would “invite her to return to the leadership table immediately.”

But it is unclear where Stefanik will fit in after relinquishing the position of House GOP conference chair, which she held for nearly four years, upon her nomination for U.N. ambassador.

Trump said he was pulling her as his pick to go to New York City because of the House’s razor-thin majority.

House GOP lawmakers in November elected Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) to take her spot in the No. 4 position. The Michigan Republican does not plan to resign from that slot, a source familiar with the matter told The Hill. All the other top elected leadership posts are filled.
