Trump tells Rep. Elise Stefanik she has to stay in Congress instead of becoming UN ambassador because the GOP House margin is so thin

Quick Summary:

Trump confirmed he was withdrawing the New York Republican's nomination in a Truth Social post, saying that it was "essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress.

On her Instagram page, Stefanik had also been conducting what appeared to be a retrospective of her time in Congress, with one post containing images from 2016 that showed her on a cable news show and posing with supporters atop a caption that began with “Congressional throwback continued.

Trump's statement Thursday also seemed to indicate an anxiety about the party's ability to hold on to Stefanik’s seat if she were to take on the U.N.post, even though the sprawling district in northern New York is one of the state’s most conservative and is considered to be solid Republican territory.
