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

Listeners, today we are looking at recent news and public attention involving Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York, who is often discussed as a rising Republican voice on national security and foreign policy, including issues that directly intersect with the work of the United States at the United Nations.Elise Stefanik is not the United States Representative to the United Nations. That post is currently held by Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield, who serves as the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations and is a member of the cabinet and National Security Council. However, recent coverage shows Stefanik increasingly shaping the debate around how the United States engages with international institutions, including the U N.According to reporting from the Albany Times Union and other New York outlets this week, Stefanik has continued using her role on the House Republican leadership team to criticize what she describes as failures of international organizations to hold hostile regimes accountable, especially on issues involving Israel, Iran, and China. These comments come as the U N Security Council and General Assembly have been the focus of intense global debate over conflicts in the Middle East and rising tensions in East Asia.National political reports note that Stefanik has been aligning herself with former President Donald Trump on a harder line toward U N bodies viewed by conservatives as biased against United States allies. She has echoed calls for stricter conditions on American funding to international agencies and greater scrutiny of how those agencies respond to human rights abuses, religious persecution, and violations of national sovereignty.Foreign policy analysts quoted this week in outlets such as The Hill and Politico point out that, while she does not set U N policy directly, Stefanik has become a key voice rallying House Republicans around resolutions criticizing certain U N actions and praising others, particularly those that support Israel’s right to self defense and condemn terrorism. She has also highlighted the need for stronger oversight of U N relief and development programs operating in conflict zones.New York based commentary, including recent opinion pieces in regional news sites, suggests that Stefanik’s growing profile on global issues has fueled speculation about her future ambitions, with some strategists floating her as a possible contender for senior national security posts in a future Republican administration, positions that could include a role connected to United States diplomacy at the U N.For listeners following how domestic politics shape America’s stance at the United Nations, Elise Stefanik is a lawmaker to watch. Her statements, committee work, and alliances inside the House Republican Conference are helping to define the party’s critique of multilateral institutions and the direction many conservatives want United States U N policy to take.Thank you for tuning in, and remember to subscribe.

Elise Stefanik, recently nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as the United States Representative to the United Nations, has withdrawn her name from consideration for that role. According to the New York Post, columnist Michael Goodwin reported that Stefanik made this decision to focus on her current duties as a congresswoman from New York's 21st district. Goodwin notes that Stefanik claimed she would have easily won a primary challenge, but stepped back amid political pressures.The withdrawal comes just days after Trump's announcement on December 17, 2025, praising Stefanik's strong stance against what he called anti-Israel bias at the United Nations. Fox News reports that Trump highlighted her confrontations with UN officials during recent hearings, positioning her as a tough advocate for American interests. However, sources close to the transition team, as cited by Politico, indicate internal concerns over her ability to navigate Senate confirmation amid ongoing partisan battles.Stefanik's move opens the door for other candidates, with Trump endorsing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman for her congressional seat, according to the New York Post. Blakeman, a Republican ally, could face a primary if Stefanik had pursued reelection aggressively. CNN coverage emphasizes that her withdrawal avoids a potential distraction for Trump's incoming administration, allowing focus on filling the UN ambassador position swiftly.Stefanik issued a statement via her office, reaffirming commitment to combating globalism and supporting Israel, as reported by Axios.

Elise Stefanik, once nominated by President Donald Trump as United States Representative to the United Nations, has made headlines this week for a heated clash with House Speaker Mike Johnson. According to The Hill, Stefanik accused Johnson of torpedoing the Republican agenda by blocking her provision in the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act. This measure would require congressional notification for counterintelligence investigations into federal candidates, aimed at preventing what she calls deep state weaponization against elections.Stefanik, now chair of House Republican leadership after Trump withdrew her United Nations nomination earlier this year over House majority concerns, took to social media on Monday. She declared the deep state alive and well, claiming Johnson sided with Democrats like Jamie Raskin to strike the provision from the bill. A response to past probes like Crossfire Hurricane into Trump's 2016 campaign and Jack Smith's Arctic Frost investigation into 2020 election efforts, the language had passed the House Intelligence Committee in September. Stefanik vowed a hard no on the defense bill without it, stating on X that a provision approved in committee deserves a floor vote, not removal in closed-door talks.Johnson pushed back during a Tuesday press conference, denying involvement and saying the issue never reached him. He texted Stefanik, offering to help, and noted typical negotiations need agreement from House and Senate committee leaders. Stefanik fired back online, calling his words lies and his tactic to dodge when caught undermining Republicans. Fox News reports this as part of erupting House GOP tensions, with allies like Representatives Anna Paulina Luna and Marjorie Taylor Greene echoing her stance and threatening no votes on the bill.Politico notes Stefanik, eyeing a New York governor run, also addressed party rifts over antisemitism. Her campaign condemned white supremacist Nick Fuentes, affirming no place for him in the Republican Party amid a Manhattan gala controversy hosted by the New York Young Republican Club, where she once donated.These intraparty battles highlight Stefanik's aggressive push on Trump priorities amid year-end legislative fights.Thank you for tuning in, listeners.

Listeners, today we are focusing on Elise Stefanik, who was nominated earlier this year by former President Donald Trump to serve as the United States Representative to the United Nations, but later saw that nomination withdrawn as House politics shifted.According to reporting from The Hill and Fox News, Stefanik gave up her committee posts and her role as House Republican Conference chair in anticipation of moving to the United Nations job, only for Trump to pull the nomination over concerns about protecting the very slim House Republican majority. After that reversal, Speaker Mike Johnson moved to keep her in leadership by naming her chair of House Republican leadership and expanding the House Intelligence Committee so she could return to that powerful panel.In the last few days, Stefanik has been in the headlines not for diplomacy, but for a sharp clash with Speaker Johnson over the National Defense Authorization Act, the massive annual defense policy bill. The Hill reports that she pushed a provision requiring congressional leaders to be notified whenever there is a counterintelligence investigation involving a federal candidate, a response she has framed as a safeguard against what she calls deep state abuse in election related probes. As negotiators finalized the bill, that language appeared to be left out.Stefanik then publicly accused Johnson of torpedoing the Republican agenda by allowing Democrats to block her measure in closed door talks. According to coverage from The Hill and AOL, she went on social media to say the deep state is alive and well and called Johnson a liar for claiming the issue had not yet reached his level. Johnson, for his part, told reporters that committee leaders in both chambers had not agreed on the provision and said he supported her idea but had not personally removed it.This dispute has become one of the clearest examples of internal Republican tension as Stefanik simultaneously works to defend Trump, shape intelligence oversight policy, and keep her national profile high after losing the chance to represent the United States at the United Nations. Fox News notes that she ultimately claimed victory on an earlier fight with Johnson this year, reinforcing her image as a hard line negotiator within the party.Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to subscribe so you never miss an update.
