Reports say that Donald Trump has made a new job offer for his administration. However, this is causing some people to raise an eyebrow because they think it could threaten the GOP’s sure majority in the House.
Republicans are likely to take control of the House, but Democrats could still take the lead. If the Republicans do win, it will be a close majority.
Kaitlan Collins says that the new staffing choice made by the outgoing and incoming president could make that narrow majority even narrower.
“President-elect Donald Trump has offered Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik the job as US ambassador to the United Nations, two sources familiar told Newsline on Sunday,” Collins said. “The New York congresswoman, the fourth-ranking House Republican, has been a strong ally of the president-elect and a major fundraiser for the GOP.”
A top editor at Law360 called the news “scary” and asked, “With this slim of a (likely) GOP majority in the House? “Interesting.”
Real estate developer Steven Watts from Oklahoma said, “It seems like a big risk to have a special election in New York with the Republicans only having a small lead.”
Ethan C7, an election pundit, added his voice:
“New York-21 (Trump+22 in 2024) is going to have a special election. Don’t know how long [New York Governor Kathy] Hochul can put off special elections, but Speaker Johnson might try to stop her nomination on Sunday because the GOP majority is so small and there is a very small chance that the Democrats will win.
