“With a very tight Majority, I don’t want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise’s seat,” Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social on Thursday afternoon. “There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations.

She attributed the White House’s reversal to a combination of the slim margin in the House and “the corruption that we’re seeing under (Gov.) Kathy Hochul.” Based on recent activity, her reversal of fortune might have come as a surprise to the congresswoman: She has spent the past week posting a “Congressional Throwback” series on social media, revisiting her decade representing New York’s 21st District as recently as Thursday morning.
