Stefanik vows to be 'a leader' for Trump's agenda in House

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) held no hard feelings after her nomination to serve as the Trump administration’s ambassador to the United Nations was pulled, citing a need to deliver results from the president to the voters.

Stefanik argued that President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers need to deliver on the reconciliation package promised to voters, a mandate indicated by the president’s victory in November that included winning the popular vote along with the Electoral College. However, Trump is dealing with a razor-thin majority within the House of Representatives to enact his agenda — a “reality” that Stefanik says the Republican Party must address.
