Top Trump ally gets surprising new role after university presidents showdown
Former Trump-critic turned supporter **Elise Stefanik** moves from Congress to global diplomacy. Her recent clash with college leaders and strong pro-Israel stance shaped this unexpected pick
Donald Trump picked his close ally Elise Stefanik as next UN ambassador marking a big shift for the 40-year old rising GOP star. The president-elect who won last month made this choice after Stefaniks recent win in NYʼs 21st district (where she got 63% of votes)
The pick comes after Trumps complex history with UN – he left WHO during his first term because of china-virus concerns. His pro-Israel position doesnt match UNʼs view on the month-old Gaza war: this means some tough talks are coming up
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvardʼs rules on bullying and harassment
Last winter Stefanik made headlines when she questioned college leaders about anti-jewish protests; her tough-talk led to their stepping down. The Harvard grad who once didnt like Trump in 2016 became one of his strongest supporters – defending him at impeachment talks and using strong words about the “Biden Crime Family“
As House GOPʼs number four person Stefanik shows up often on TV and at Trump rallies (she was even thought about for vice-president before JD Vance got picked). Her move means theres gonna be a special vote in her district: NY law says governor must call it within 10 days and hold it within 3 months
