(CNN) - 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.

Does she keep her house seat if she accepts?
No
Question With the GOP still trying to narrowly nail down the House, is this wise to offer this?, after all this is NY. idk-just asking-I assume it would be filled by special election and not appointed by Gov, who is a dem
Bad idea. She is needed in the house.
No! Not unless she can keep her seat in the Senate.
HOUSE, not Senate.
That would be quite an accomplishment since she is a Representative.
We are currently at 217. CO08 was called.
Why pull a conservative voter from the House membership? Leave her where she can do some good.
We need her to stay in the house we do not have enough cushion to be pulling people out of the house!!!
Goodness... I like Elise but if her seat goes vacant there’s an open election for it... in NY... no guarantee at all that Republicans don’t lose the seat.
The Trump team is leaking to CNN? I doubt it.
This story is probably as accurate as the leaked Senate leadership list that had Thune voting for Cornyn.
My guess is that Thune will vote for Thune, but I don’t know.
NY’s 21st District, which Stefanik represents, voted for Trump 54 to 40 in 2016 and 53 to 45 in 2020. Although the district went for Obama in 2008 and 2012, sounds pretty solidly R to me. She won her race this year 62 to 38.
Representative Elise Stefanik is certainly qualified, worthy, and another strong woman on the Trump Team.
Let's see what SHE wants, ... she is strategically irreplaceable in the House Seat she now holds.
No, slim house. Cant afford this. She’s in NY
There is a lot of “speculating” going on from “un-named sources”
about what President Trump is going to do.
My opinion is to “wait and see”.
How long has she been in politics?
>6 years disqualifies as Swamp
In a special election the Rats can put 10s of millions into one race in NY to take the house. Hard pass.
“We are currently at 217. CO08 was called.”
Not seeing it called on Decision Desk.
