President Trump has asked Rep. Elise Stefanik to withdraw her nomination as United Nations Ambassador due to a razor-thin majority in the House. Stefanik's nomination had been met with controversy, with some questioning her experience and diplomatic qualifications for the role.

In a statement, President Trump revealed that he could not take the chance of losing the Republican majority in the House over Stefanik's nomination. He emphasized the importance of maintaining control in Congress and expressed concern that Stefanik's confirmation could jeopardize that.

The decision to withdraw Stefanik's nomination comes after several key Republican lawmakers voiced their opposition to her appointment as UN Ambassador. Critics argue that Stefanik lacks the necessary foreign policy experience and relationships to effectively represent the United States on the global stage.

Stefanik's withdrawal from consideration as UN Ambassador marks a setback for the Trump administration's foreign policy goals. The president has indicated that he will be seeking another candidate for the position in the coming days.
