That didn't take long. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is back in leadership. Less than two weeks after the Trump administration withdrew her name from consideration to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) made good on his reassurances that Stefanik would once more have a leadership role. Stefanik previously served as the House Republican Conference chairwoman. On Wednesday, Johnson appointed Stefanik as the Chairwoman of House Republican Leadership for the 119th Congress. She was also reappointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where she will maintain her seniority. Additionally, she serves as...

WASHINGTON, March 27 (Reuters) - Discussions are being held on whether Representative Elise Stefanik should step away from her nomination to be President Donald Trump's U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, a White House official said on Thursday. Pulling her from the nomination would be done in part because of concern about Republicans' tight majority in the House of Representatives, which she would leave if confirmed for the post.

With Congresswoman Elise Stefanik expected to vacate her seat in New York’s 21st Congressional District to take her post as UN Ambassador any day now, President Trump’s agenda depends on a strong pro-Trump Republican succeeding her. Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino has proven time and time again he is the right candidate, and a recent poll shows that he is the clear favorite among Republican voters. But in New York, Republican nominees in special elections are not chosen by the voters, but rather by the Republican County Chairs. And The Gateway Pundit has received word that a rogue group among...

President Trump named New York’s 21st Congressional Representative Elise Stefanik as his pick for U.N. Ambassador. .... Snip.... Unsurprisingly, recent actions by Democrat lawmakers in the New York State legislature in league with Gov. Hochul are designed to delay the special election for Rep. Elise Stefanik’s soon-to-be-vacant seat in the 21st Congressional District. Proposals are being made to extend the timeframe for the Governor to call a Special Election beyond the current 10 days from a vacancy in addition to extending that Special Election to a date in the distant future such as coupling a Special Election with a June...

The party that claims to want to "defend democracy" has decided to abandon the struggle in New York. New York state Democrats are going to pass a bill that allows Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul to delay scheduling special elections until November. Current law requires Hochul to schedule a special election 90 days after a vacancy is declared. The nomination of former Rep. Elise Stefanik to be UN ambassador will create a vacancy in her deep red district once the Senate confirms her nomination. Once the bill passes (Democrats have large majorities in both Houses), Hochul could deny citizens of New...

The United Nations is getting a reformer and America First fighter out of Elise Stefanik. Over her decade in Congress, Elise has driven results on behalf of her district in Upstate New York and the North Country and the entire nation. Most recently, she has served as the dean of the New York GOP delegation and, as House Republican Conference Chair, the highest-ranking New York Republican elected to top House leadership in over 100 years. Her commitment to delivering real results for hardworking New Yorkers is seen in her legislative record and in her political determination to grow and maintain...

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman on Wednesday officially endorsed New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations (U.N.). President-elect Donald Trump nominated Stefanik for the post last month, which would require her to resign her House seat, but she still needs to be confirmed by the Senate. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley held the post in Trump's first term. Fetterman said that he always planned to confirm Stefanik, but appeared even more confident after the pair had a discussion on Capitol Hill. Trump's nominees have been meeting with senators this month to...

Muslim voters who helped swing the election for President-elect Trump because of their anger over Israel’s offensive in Gaza have decried several of his cabinet choices as too “pro-war,” according to a report. Some of Trump’s earliest cabinet have been pro-Israel die-hards, including: New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, who will become the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has long been an outspoken supporter of Israel’s war against Hamas. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, another Zionist stalwart, will also become ambassador to Israel. “We are very disappointed,” Rexhinaldo Nazarko, executive director of the American...

New York Rep. Elise Stefanik has accepted President-elect Donald Trump’s offer to be his enforcer as United Nations ambassador, The Post can reveal. The 40-year-old upstate Republican, who helped force out two Ivy League presidents with her sharp questioning on campus antisemitism, will the lead Trump’s “America first” and pro-Israel message in Turtle Bay. “I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Trump, 78, said in a statement to The Post Sunday night.

(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.

Under the Biden-Harris Administration, there has been an unconstitutional and relentless attack on the Second Amendment rights and privacies of American citizens. In September 2023, gun-grabbing organizations and far Left politicians including New York Attorney General Letitia James cheered on the creation of a new Merchant Category Code (MCC) for firearms retailers within the payment processing system.... The creation of MCCs specifically for firearms retailers is weaponizing the financial system against lawful gun owners by seeking to label and track transactions on firearms and ammunition. To counteract this infringement on our rights, we introduced the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act.......

With a highly contentious election just around the corner, Democrats are continuing to use dire rhetoric against Americans for voting red. Late last week, New York’s Democratic governor Kathy Hochul, an ally of Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, told Republican voters, “You’re anti-woman, you’re anti-abortion, and basically you’re anti-American because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about over and over and over.” Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) responded to Hochul, “First, they called us ‘Deplorables.’ Then, they called us ‘Nazis.’ Then, Joe Biden called us ‘garbage.’ Then, they said no ‘strong...

Congressional Republicans are probing Kamala Harris’ national security adviser for “blatantly promoting the Iranian regime’s perspective and interests” and entertaining “connections” to an Iranian influence operation that swept up a now-suspended State Department official and three of his aides. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) wrote a letter to the vice president on Wednesday demanding answers to questions about the adviser, Philip Gordon, who co-authored op-eds with one of the aides to suspended Iran special envoy Robert Malley and Malley himself — both of whom were involved in the Iranian influence campaign. “Since last year, I have...

Several New York Republicans are calling for an investigation into New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) after the arrest of a former top aide for working as an agent of influence of China. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) were among the Republicans who have called for an investigation surrounding Linda Sun, 41, and her husband, Chris Hu, after federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging Sun, a naturalized American citizen who was born in China, conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, failure to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, money...

Anticipation over selection over who President Trump will select as his running-mate reached fever pitch over the weekend as the 45th President proclaimed just before a rally in Philadelphia he had already made the pick in his mind. Now, reports have emerged that the list of contenders for the coveted number two spot has narrowed. NewsNation has learned Trump has finalized his list to three candidates: North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio. CNN and NBC have also revealed the same three names are finalists on Trump’s list. Trump’s original list also included...

This just in: The Trump campaign has reportedly sent vetting materials to a small selection candidates in the running for Trump’s VP pick, formally asking them provide personal information in order to be considered as a potential running mate.

House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik filed an ethics complaint against Judge Juan Merchan for an alleged conflict of interest pertaining to his daughter’s role at a firm known for representing Democratic politicians. Merchan, an acting Supreme Court justice in New York, is presiding over the unprecedented criminal trial against former President Trump stemming from charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Stefanik, R-N.Y., filed the complaint with the New York State Commission on Judiciary Conduct, warning that Trump, who pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records, faces "a maximum of 136 years’ imprisonment" if...
