Narrow margins and tough political headwinds force a prominent House GOP lawmaker to stay put - Washington Examiner

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Trump has vaguely alluded to finding another administration role for Stefanik, but his word is famously untrustworthy.
40% : Trump didn't mince words.
38% : A political void trade of sorts played out dramatically on March 27, when President Donald Trump rescinded Rep. Elise Stefanik's (R-NY) nomination to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
38% : Trump said on Truth Social that he asked Stefanik, a former House Republican Conference chairwoman, the fourth in the House GOP hierarchy, to stay in Congress and help him accomplish his agenda, calling her one of his "biggest allies." "With a very tight Majority, I don't want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise's seat," Trump said.
38% : However, the key electoral calendar date is July 15, when the Democratic primary is set in a district where Harris beat Trump about 60% to 38% in 2024.
32% : House leadership, VP stakes, UN Amb nominee-all dashed to end up back in the job she hates.
21% : If Stefanik left the House, Trump has alluded to a nontrivial chance that Democrats could win a district in which he beat former Vice President Kamala Harris about 60% to 39%.
15% : So far in 2025, Democrats are performing an average of more than 10 points better than they did at the top of the ticket in 2024 when Harris lost to Trump.
