Council Mike Johnson revealed on Monday the reason that actor Elise Stefanick did not get from New York to confirm to be the United Nations ambassador: he cannot bear the loss of another Republican vote in the House of Representatives.
Mr. Johnson is under pressure this week to hold his broken conference together to pass a budget decision, with only one vote to spare it. Mrs. Stefanick, a former member of the leadership of the House of Representatives, is a team player whose support can be very important, given difficult mathematics.
“If we get the budget decision this week, which is the plan, it is possible that Elise Stefanick will go forward and move to its mission at the United Nations as an ambassador there,” said Mr. Johnson on Monday during a hadith in the hadith. The First Policy Institute, America. It was an explicit recognition of the political reality of trying to pass a budget for President Trump’s agenda after he raided the Republican Council to fill his administration.
A spokesman for Mr. Johnson said the timing of Mrs. Stefanick was a matter of the White House and the Senate to solve it and that the speaker supports their schedule.
Republican leaders of the Senate obtained many other confirmation sounds of scabing and showing that they realize the narrow majority in the House of Representatives, which puts additional pressure on Mrs. Stefanick to stay in place, at the present time.
The Senate was pushing through votes on Mr. Trump’s nominations in the cabinet at a record pace. yet, 18 members of the Council of Ministers have been confirmed. Mrs. Stefanick is one of the four cabinet candidates only who did not receive a vote in the Senate.
On Monday, Mr. Johnson was clearly talking about the fact that he simply could not bear the loss of Mrs. Stefanick at the present time, as he wandered around passing the budget plan and a short -term spectator to avoid the government’s closure on March 14.
Mr. Johnson said: “I had 220 republics and 215 democratic people, and then President Trump began to return the herd,” said Mr. Johnson. “We now have a single-smaller audio margin in history, right? So for a large part of the first 100 days of Congress, and perhaps after that, this is not an easy task, but we will do it.”
Even with Mrs. Stefanick on hand and in support, it is not clear at all that Mr. Johnson will be able to pass the budget scale, with Many Republicans refer to concerns about the plan. Also, it is not certain when Mrs. Stefanick, who refused to comment on this article, is cleared to move to her next job.
At the present time, you live in embarrassment between them. It is not sitting on any sub -fava at the 119th Conference, although she was attending some listening sessions for the committees she is still on. During, A confrontation with Ukraine plays in the United NationsAnd the United States has long been against its European allies, without it.
At the conservative political work conference during the weekend, Mrs. Stefanick was not presented as a conference of a conference from New York, but as the “United Nations Ambassador”.
“Our team is already working hard. In his speech in CPAC, Mr. Trump referred to Mrs. Stefanick as” our next ambassador to the United Nations. “
Some relief to Mrs. Stefanick and Mr. Johnson may come in April, when two Republicans who have been organized by Trump are expected to fill a pair of home seats that left vacant after former actors Mike Waltz and Matt Gatuz from Florida left.
(Mr. Waltz left to hold the position of National Security Adviser to Mr. Trump. Mr. Gaitz resigned from the House of Representatives in November after Mr. Trump nominated him to be a public lawyer, but he withdrew his name from looking due to severe scrutiny due to allegations of sex trafficking and drug abuse.)
It is expected that their successors will be elected to Mr. Johnson with more breathing room with a narrow -homelessness.
Mrs. Stefanick, loyal to the moderate Republicans, is expected to sail at some time to Trump, through the Senate confirmation process, if it is decided. A successful confirmation will start around the clock on the governor of Cathy Hot Hutchol from New York, which the law requests to identify special elections within 90 days of the declared vacancies of Congress.
Some Democratic lawmakers in New York submitted a bill allowing Mrs. Hochol to delay the special elections in the conservative Stefanik region.
Mr. Johnson realizes that once Mrs. Stefanick loses, it may take some time before he gets this vote.
“Let’s hope that we can fill the time, and we hope that the Democratic Law in New York will respect,” he said.
Therefore, at the present time, Mrs. Stefanik was stuck in voting in the House of Representatives.
