No Senate confirmation hearing has been scheduled for U.N. ambassador nominee Elise Stefanik, a congresswoman from New York.
Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik’s nomination for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is in jeopardy as GOP pressure mounts for her to back away from the position.
Multiple sources told CBS News there are ongoing discussions about whether she should withdraw from consideration. Stefanik has not resigned from her seat in Congress, and with the narrow majority in the House, Republicans need all the votes they can muster.
