President elect, DonOLD Trump has tapped House Republican Conference chair and longtime ally Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to serve as ambassador to the United Nations, a Trump transition official confirmed to NBC News on Monday.
“I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Trump told the New York Post, which received a statement from the president-elect.
Any appointments by Trump that lead to vacancies in the House could prove problematic for House Republicans. While they could maintain control of the lower chamber, an election outcome that NBC News has not yet called, their margin will be slim, and they struggled throughout the last Congress to maintain effective control of the body with few votes to spare.

Trump announces Tom Homan as incoming border czar
Homan touts hard-line immigration views and has previously vowed to “run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen.”
President-elect Donald Trump announced late Sunday that Tom Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement who backed his controversial “zero tolerance” policy, will be his administration’s “border czar.”
He was an early supporter of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy, which led to thousands of families being separated at the southern border. Trump eventually signed an executive order in 2018 reversing the family separation policy after public outcry.
In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired in October, Homan was asked whether there was a way to carry out mass deportations without separating families.
“Of course there is. Families can be deported together,” he responded.
