From the President of the United States: 

"As we advance our America First Agenda, it is essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress. We must be unified to accomplish our Mission, and Elise Stefanik has been a vital part of our efforts from the very beginning. I have asked Elise, as one of my biggest Allies, to remain in Congress to help me deliver Historic Tax Cuts, GREAT Jobs, Record Economic Growth, a Secure Border, Energy Dominance, Peace Through Strength, and much more, so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat. The people love Elise and, with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day. There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations. Therefore, Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People. Speaker Johnson is thrilled! I look forward to the day when Elise is able to join my Administration in the future. She is absolutely FANTASTIC. Thank you Elise!" 

From Donald J. Trump

Just a point of clarification first: Katrina Szsih said: 

"So what might have sounded like some type of scandal, is not that all. This is about Elise Stefanik keeping her seat in Congress".

I get this is Newsmax and I don't expect them to really give me any facts whatsoever, let alone even a few of them, or most of them, let alone all of them. And getting news from them, is like lying down in the street searching for water because you are thirsty. But their reporter Kelly Dukart said: 

"Republicans are not willing to take a chance on her (meaning U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik) seat with their narrow majority in the House of Representatives... 

"Republicans not willing to take a chance on her seat with their narrow House majority", that's the key line here. And you heard it from Newsmax, before you want to blame it on "legacy media", the "liberal media", "the left-wing media", etc. 

House Republicans have 2 seat majority right now in the House of Representatives. Think about that: Out of 234 seats, they only have 219 seats. Donald Trump is unpopular, Democrats are winning legislative seats in Pennsylvania in other places where Donald Trump won those districts by 15-20 points. 

House Republicans lose Matt Gaetz's Florida seat (and I'm not predicting that they will) and then Elise Sefanik gets to the United Nations and the Governor of New York (Kathy Hochul) would call for a special election for her seat as well and maybe that's this summer and that's Northeastern New York , where Democrats are competitive... The White House right now is doing political damage control right now and trying to hold back what could be a perfect political storm for the Democrats for the rest of 25 and going into 2026. 

So Katrina Szish might be technically right when she say's President Trump withdrawing Representative Stefanik's name for the United Nations Ambassador, is not a "scandal". But The White House is simply trying to contain a potentially major political fire for themselves.
