President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed New York Representative Elise Stefanik as his choice for United States ambassador to the United Nations. According to an AOL report, Trump tapped Stefanik, a prominent Republican, to serve as his enforcer at the world body, highlighting her loyalty and tough stance on international issues.
In recent days, Stefanik made headlines with a public clash against House Speaker Mike Johnson. On Tuesday, she accused him of lying about excluding her priority proposal from a defense policy bill. According to AOL and HuffPost, Stefanik's measure would require the Justice Department to notify Congress of investigations into presidential candidates, aimed at countering what she calls deep state interference. She posted on social media that Johnson claimed the provision was not on his radar, calling it just more lies from the Speaker.
This dispute marks a rift within House Republicans. Stefanik, once part of Johnson's leadership team, stepped back after Trump's initial nomination last year, which was later withdrawn due to the party's slim majority. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene backed Stefanik, writing on X that Johnson makes promises he breaks.
Stefanik has since launched a bid for New York governor, where criticizing Washington insiders like the deep state could boost her campaign. Her proposal stems from concerns over the 2016 Russia investigation into Trump's campaign, which probes deemed overly aggressive but not a full witch hunt.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul fired back at Stefanik's gubernatorial announcement, as noted in Fox News coverage of regional news. These developments keep Stefanik in the spotlight amid her potential United Nations role and state race.
