Elise Stefanik, the very pro-Israel New York Republican Congressmember, is being seriously considered for the post of America's Ambassador to the United Nations, according to POLITICO.
Stefanik established a name for herself as a defender of Israel and a fighter against antisemitism during the campus riots following October 7th, when she held Congressional meetings on the subject of antisemitism on campus and subpoenaed the presidents of Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and MIT to answer for harassment and attacks on Jews.
Stefanik's repeated question of whether it is acceptable for students to call for a genocide of Jews, and the presidents' legalistic and evasive answers, made national headlines, causing the resignation of multiple university presidents and a major national discussion about radicalism on campus.
The main hurdle for Stefanik is the Republicans' House majority, which if it emerges by the end of the vote count in the western states like California, may ultimately be so slim that the party cannot afford to risk any new elections which may shrink it further.
