Frustrations mount as Stefanik stuck in limbo -- even after House clears hurdle

[Dulcinea]

(The Hill) Frustrations are growing as Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-N.Y.) wait to be confirmed as ambassador to the United Nations could stretch until April due to the House’s ultra-slim majority.

Stefanik is facing a unique problem. Despite numerous international crises facing the U.S. and UN, she is considered more valuable in the House as lawmakers try to cobble together Trump’s agenda. That was especially the case for a dramatic Tuesday vote on the House’s budget resolution, when her presence was crucial.

But even with that out of the way, Stefanik is likely to remain sidelined from her potential UN post as the Senate is showing few signs it will move on her nomination.
