#EliseStefanik

Trump won #EliseStefanik's district by more than 20 points. Now Trump is so worried that if she leaves #Congress to accept the nomination to be UN Ambassador Republicans could lose the special election to replace her. Given the polling plus the reality of who votes in special elections (highly motivated, highly educated voters) I suspect this fear is not unwarranted.

On the one hand this is encouraging because it shows republicans have internal polling that has them legitimately worried.

On the other hand it sucks that Trump was savvy enough to pull Stefanik's nomination. Losing a congressional election in such a safely red district would send an enormous shock wave through the entire US Congress that would cause a lot of them to grow a spine, because the voters would have made it crystal clear that a lot of "safe" republican seats are now tossups and the members need to adjust their activity accordingly.

The White House’s decision suggests that the administration is deeply concerned about its ability to enact the president’s agenda given the House GOP’s razor-thin majority. So concerned, in fact, that it doesn’t want to “take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat,” President Donald Trump said in a social media post on of Stefanik’s deep-red New York district, which she carried by 24 points in November. (Also worth keeping in mind: Republican operatives are reportedly feeling unusually jittery about the race to fill former representative turned national security adviser Mike Waltz’s ruby-red seat in Florida in next Tuesday’s special election.)

#Republican Rep #EliseStefanik's nomination for US ambassador to the #UnitedNations [#UN “phew!”] is in jeopardy as #GOP pressure mounts for her to back away from the position.

…There are ongoing discussions about whether she should withdraw from consideration. Stefanik has not resigned from her seat in #Congress, & w/the narrow majority in the #House, #Republicans need all the votes they can muster.

Tuckers Nuts Resist! 🇺🇦 

🥥 World, meet Trump's nominee for UN Ambassador, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
"Let me start by saying something nice about Elise Stefanik: She went to Harvard. Then again, so did the Unabomber. You might think it’s unfair to compare Stefanik to the Unabomber, and it is—to the Unabomber. For all his flaws, he was way more ideologically consistent than Stefanik." --Andy Borowitz
