House GOP 'trying to sort out' new role for Stefanik after Trump pulled her UN nomination
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Republicans are "trying to sort out" what role Rep. Elise Stefanik will have in party leadership after the White House pulled her nomination to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
"Elise is a dear friend, trusted colleague. She's a super talent, and she brings, has always brought a lot to the table. And she stepped down from her conference chair role, and on her important committee assignments, she was in line to have a gavel on some of those, and the circumstances changed," Johnson said.

Johnson said since all leadership roles are currently filled, "we're trying to figure out some creative role for Elise to play."
Trump cited the House GOP's narrow majority as the reason for pulling the plug on Stefanik's nomination. Stefanik gave up her role as House Republican Conference Chair after she was nominated for the role shortly after the November election.
