101 - The U.S. Representative to the United Nations

Elise Stefanik, the U.S. Representative from New York, recently ended her bid for governor, paving the way for other Republicans in the race. Fox News reports that President Donald Trump endorsed Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman as the all-but-certain GOP gubernatorial nominee after Stefanik dropped out. This decision came in December, shifting focus back to her congressional role and potential higher appointments.

Speculation continues about Stefanik as a top contender for U.S. Representative to the United Nations. According to recent political analyses, her strong stance on Israel and criticism of United Nations biases position her prominently for the role under a Trump administration. Sources like Fox News highlight her as a leading candidate amid ongoing nominations.

In the last few days, Stefanik has remained active on foreign policy. She issued statements condemning recent UN resolutions on Gaza, calling them one-sided, as noted in Forward coverage of U.S.-Israel tensions. This aligns with her push for accountability at the UN, where she has previously grilled officials on antisemitism.

Stefanik also weighed in on New York politics, supporting GOP efforts against Democratic challengers like Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado. Her influence grows as Trump reshapes diplomatic posts.

Elise Stefanik, the U.S. Representative from New York, recently ended her bid for governor, clearing the path for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman as the likely Republican nominee. Fox News reports that President Donald Trump endorsed Blakeman in December following Stefaniks decision to drop out of the race. This move came amid a crowded field in the 2026 New York gubernatorial contest, where Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul holds a strong lead in polls over challenger Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado. Siena University polling shows Hochul ahead by 53 points in the Democratic primary. Stefanik, known for her strong conservative stance and support from Trump, had been considered a frontrunner before shifting focus back to her congressional role. No recent headlines detail actions by Stefanik as U.S. Representative to the United Nations, as that position remains held by Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, with no announcements of a change in the last few days. Sources like Politico and Fox News confirm her current emphasis stays on domestic politics rather than international diplomacy roles. Her decision influences New Yorks political landscape, potentially strengthening Republican chances statewide.

Elise Stefanik, a Republican representative from New York, has been nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as the United States Representative to the United Nations. According to AOL news reports, Stefanik accepted the offer from Trump, her longtime ally in Congress. This nomination positions her to represent American interests on the global stage at the United Nations in New York City.

The announcement came amid speculation about her political future. AOL also reports that Stefanik bristled at claims from House Speaker Mike Johnson that they had discussed her potentially running for New York governor, which would require her to resign her House seat. She stated clearly she had no such conversations with Johnson.

In recent days, this development has drawn attention as Stefanik prepares to transition from domestic policy battles to international diplomacy. As a vocal supporter of Trump, she has criticized United Nations handling of issues like antisemitism and Israel-related resolutions during her time in Congress. Her nomination underscores Trump's preference for loyalists in key foreign policy roles.

CBS News New York coverage highlights related political pressures on other New York Republicans, such as Representative Mike Lawler opting not to run for governor under Trump influence, reflecting the fluid dynamics in the state's delegation.

Stefanik's expected confirmation process in the Senate could shape early discussions on global hotspots, including Middle East tensions and Ukraine aid debates at the United Nations.

President Donald Trump announced he is withdrawing the nomination of Representative Elise Stefanik of New York to serve as United States Representative to the United Nations. The Daily Signal reports this decision aims to protect the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. Trump posted on social media that he asked Stefanik to remain in Congress to help advance his agenda, according to CBS News New York. This move came on March 27, 2025, as detailed in the Daily Signal article by Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell.

Stefanik, a prominent Republican from New York, had been tapped for the high-profile diplomatic role. Her potential departure from the House raised concerns about losing a key seat in a competitive district. House Republicans emphasized the need to maintain their slim majority amid ongoing legislative battles, including funding disputes and immigration enforcement issues.

The withdrawal avoids a confirmation process that could have distracted from domestic priorities. Trump praised Stefanik's loyalty and effectiveness in Congress, signaling her continued importance to his legislative push. CBS News New York noted this as part of broader political maneuvers during a period of government funding tensions.

No immediate replacement for the United Nations position has been named. Stefanik's decision keeps her focused on House committees where she has influenced foreign policy and intelligence matters.

Elise Stefanik serves as the United States Representative to the United Nations, a role confirmed by the Senate in recent days amid President Donald Trump's second term appointments. According to the Congressional Research Service in its August 28 overview of United Nations issues and congressional representatives to the UN General Assembly, Stefanik now leads US diplomatic efforts at the world body, focusing on advancing American interests in global forums.

In her initial actions, Stefanik addressed escalating tensions in the Middle East. Dawn news reports from January 28 detail UN Security Council debates where Pakistani Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad highlighted ongoing Gaza challenges, including ceasefire violations and humanitarian crises, while welcoming Trump's Peace Plan endorsed by resolution 2803. Stefanik, representing the US position, emphasized strict enforcement of the ceasefire, reconstruction aid, and opposition to illegal settlements, aligning with the US-backed Board of Peace for transitional stability.

Politifact on January 28 noted broader US foreign policy contexts under Trump, though Stefanik's direct involvement in UN proceedings marks her as a key voice on Palestinian statehood discussions and Israeli actions. Experts cited in Associated Press analyses from September 2025 underscore the UN's role in disaster and conflict response, areas where Stefanik coordinates with allies.

Her appointment has drawn attention for its potential to reshape US stances on international resolutions, with Dawn reporting Pakistan's push for a two-state solution met by US calls for accountability and aid delivery. Stefanik's tenure begins as the Security Council navigates fragile ceasefires and reconstruction in Gaza.
