President-Elect Donald Trump has reportedly offered Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to sources familiar with the decision. Stefanik, a prominent Republican congresswoman, has made headlines for her vocal stance against rising antisemitism on college campuses. She has been a leading critic of university administrations, pressuring college deans to address hate incidents and combat antisemitic rhetoric, which she argues has been allowed to spread unchecked at some institutions.
Known for her staunch support of Israel and advocacy for stronger U.S.-Israel relations, Stefanik has pushed back against what she describes as an increasingly hostile environment for Jewish students in academia. Her appointment would place her at the forefront of international diplomacy, representing U.S. interests on the global stage if she accepts Trump’s offer.
