You may recall that Trump has nominated Elise Stafanik to be the UN Ambassador.
He has now withdrawn the nomination over concerns that the Democrats would take her seat in a special election.
Note that the 2024 PVI was R+10, which is pretty much in territory of the Evan Edwards quote, "The only way I can lose is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.
But the Republicans are afraid that they will lose the district in a special election.
President Trump on Thursday said he had asked Representative Elise Stefanik, Republican of New York, to stay in Congress rather than serve as ambassador to the United Nations, amid concern about the minuscule voting margin that Republicans hold in the House.
“There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations,” Mr. Trump wrote on his website, Truth Social, where he said it was critical for Republicans to hold onto every House seat they have. “Therefore, Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People.”
Mr. Trump hinted that he might make it up to Ms. Stefanik in the future with another position in his administration. But for now, he said, Speaker Mike Johnson was “thrilled” with the development.
Trilled? More like relieved.
If there is an election in 2026, and this is not certain, it is likely that control of Congress will be lost by a margin that will be impervious to Republican rat-f%$#ery.
