'Big risk': Trump's offer for U.S. Ambassador spot said to risk GOP House majority

Donald Trump has reportedly made a new job offer for his administration, but it's raising eyebrows among those who say it could risk the GOP's likely majority in the House.

It's expected that Republicans will control the House, but it's still possible that Democrats could take the lead and, even if the GOP prevails, it will be a tight majority.

According to Kaitlan Collins of CNN, that tight majority could be made even tighter with the former and incoming president's newest staffing decision.

"President-elect Donald Trump has offered Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik the job as US ambassador to the United Nations, two sources familiar told CNN on Sunday," Collins wrote. "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."

Philip Shea, a senior editor at Law360, responded to the news, saying, "With this slim of a (likely) GOP majority in the House? Interesting."

Oklahoma real estate developer Steven Watts said, "Seems like a big risk to have a special election in NY given how slim a majority the Republicans will have."

Elections commentator Ethan C7 chimed in:

"Special election incoming for NY-21 (~Trump+22 in 2024). Idk how long [New York Governor Kathy] Hochul can delay special elections for, but considering how narrow the GOP majority is (and the VERY outside shot Dems flip it in the special), wonder if Speaker Johnson tries killing her nomination," he added on Sunday.
