Trump says he took Stefanik’s ambassador to protect the majority of the Republican party: “You can’t risk”

In front of a thin republican majority in the Chamber, president Donald Trump He says he brought the representative of the Republican Party Elise Stefanik to serve as an ambassador of the United Nations because he does not “want to risk.”

The president made his comments on Friday when he answered questions at the White House, a day after announcing in a publication on the social networks that the Stefanik nominationA Republican from New York and Top Trump’s ally on the camera, due to concerns about passing his agenda through the camera.

“I said: ‘Elise, would you do me a favor? We can’t risk. We have a thin margin,” Trump told reporters.

What Stefanik told Fox News about his decision as ‘team player’ to remain in Congress

Trump’s measure is produced in the midst of the White House concerns and Republicans in Capitol Hill during the special elections of next week In Florida.

Voters in two districts of Congress in Florida will go to the polls on Tuesday, since the Republicans aim to maintain control of the solidly red seats and will take a little more breath space at home.

The elections are in the first and sixth districts of the Florida Congress, which Trump led to 37 and 30 points in the presidential elections last year.

But the Democratic candidates have greatly surpassed the Republican nominees, and the surveys in recent days suggested that the race in the sixth district was within the margin of error.

The Republican Party currently has a majority 218-213 in the Chamber, with two vacant seats where the Republicans resigned and two where Democratic legislators died in March.

“When it comes to Florida, you have two races, and they seem to be good,” Trump said.

But pointing out the massive advantage of fundraising by the Democratic candidates about the republican party contenders, Trump raised concerns, saying “you never know what happens in a case like that.”

Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s financial director, is favored on the Gay Valimont Democrat in a multifandidato field in the race to fill the vacant seat on the first CD, which is located in the northwest corner of the northwest end Florida In the Panhandle region.

Republican Matt Gaetz, who won the re -election in the district in the elections last November, resigned for weeks later after Trump selected him to be his candidate for the attorney general in his second administration.

Gaetz then retired from the consideration of the cabinet in the midst of the controversy.

But it is the career in the sixth CD, which is located on the Atlantic coast of Florida from Daytona Beach to southern Saint Augustine and inside to Ocala, which is really generating concerns among some in the Republican Party.

The race is to happen to Republican Michael Waltz, who resigned from the seat on January 20 after Trump appointed his national security advisor.

Democrats far from being excited by the possible political resurgence of Biden

Republican state senator Randy Fine faces Master Josh Weil, a Democrat, in a multifandidato field.

Weil captured a lot of national attention in recent weeks by leading the fine in the battle of the cash campaign for approximately a margin of ten to one.

The cash discrepancy in the Sixth CD race caused GOP aligned groups to make last -minute contributions in support of the fine in the final days of the campaign, with the conservatives Super that launch ads that highlight Trump’s support to the fine.

“I would have preferred if our candidate had raised money at a faster pace and would have climbed to television faster,” representative Richard Hudson of North Carolina, president of the National Committee of the Republican Congress earlier this week, told reporters.

But Hudson added that the fine is “doing what he needs to do. Now he is on television.”

And he emphasized: “We are going to win the seat. It doesn’t worry me at all.”

Trump, pointing out the fine, on Friday acknowledged that “our candidate does not have that kind of money.”

There are criticism of the fine by some Republican companions. The former Top Trump political advisor and conservative presenter Steve Bannon warned that the fine “is not winning.”

And Florida of two periods Governor Ron Desantis He told reporters last week that the Republican party will have a lower performance in the race, arguing that “it is a reflection of the candidate who runs in that race.”

But it is worth pointing out the controversial history between Desantis and Fine, who was Florida’s first Republican to turn his backing from Desantis to Trump during the Battle of Republican presidential nomination of 2024.

In the first district, where the Republicans are less concern to lose the seat, Valimont surpassed Patronis in the collection of funds in approximately a margin of five to one.

While races in the two districts dominated by Republicans are far from being ideal for Democrats to try to turn, the elections are the first opportunity for voters and donors to try to make a difference since Trump returns to power in the White House.

And the Democrats say that the increase in fundraising for their candidates is a sign that their party is motivated in the midst of the frustrations of voters with the radical and controversial movements made by Trump in their first weeks of return in office.

“The American people are not buying what the Republicans sell,” said the representative of the representatives minority, Hakeem Jeffries, to journalists earlier this week.

Jeffries and other Democrats do not predict victory.

But Jeffries, the main democrat of the Chamber, stressed that “these districts are so republican that there would be no reason to believe that the careers will be close, but what I can say, almost guaranteed, is that the Democratic candidate in both special elections of Florida will exceed significantly.”

Stefanik represents the 21st York Congress, a large district, mostly rural, in the northernmost reach of the state that includes most Adirondack mountains and the region of the thousand islands. She sailed for re -election last November for 24 points.

“We do not want to take risks. We do not want to experiment,” Trump said while pointing what would have been a special choice at the end of this year to occupy Stefanik’s seat if she had renounced if she confirmed as UN ambassador. “She survey like me. I won her district for many points. He also does very well there.”

“She is very popular. He will win. And someone more likely will also win, because we did very well there. I did very well there. But the word ‘probably is not good,” the president added by emphasizing that he did not want to risk. “

Trump said he had asked Stefanik: “Would you mind staying in Congress?” Because we don’t want to take risks.

“I really appreciate it,” Trump added. “She is making me a great favor … because I was ready to go to the United Nations.”

Stefanik has already resigned and has been replaced in his role as republican leadership in the House of Representatives as president of the Republican Conference of the Chamber.

“I talked to Mike Johnson, they will put it in a high leadership position,” Trump said while referring to the president of the Chamber.
