#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.
