Elise Stefanik's nomination to UN role experiences delay

It's been two weeks since America's Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to advance Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik's nomination to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a Republican from South Dakota, has yet to begin Senate floor proceedings on her confirmation.

Stefanik, a Republican from New York, is nominated for a very important foreign policy role, but her confirmation doesn't appear to be high up on the list of Trump nominees slated to begin the process.

In fact, JewishInsider.com says, "There doesn’t appear to be a clear timeline for when her nomination will receive floor consideration, a situation that’s beginning to frustrate some Senate Republicans."

The outlet reported that Sen. John Barrasso from Wyoming, the upper chamber's number two Republican, said that the Senate is still working with House Speaker Mike Johnson on timing for Stefanik's nomination.

"I’m ready to go with her," Barrasso said. "That would take the numbers out of the House down one, so we’re going to make sure that we’ll time it appropriately."

Hopefully, when Stefanik's nomination does come up, it moves quickly.

"Speaker Johnson has said that timing for Rep. Stefanik’s confirmation is a matter for the White House and the Senate to resolve and that he will be supportive of their approach," a spokesperson for the House leader said.
