Stefanik to Finally Get House Hearing

It's been more than four months since President Trump announced Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) as his UN ambassador — and she finally has a date for when she will be free from the House.

Why it matters: House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) slim margins, GOP detractors like Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Trump's shopping spree in the House to fill top administration positions have left Stefanik behind to ensure the House has the votes to get things done.

What to watch: Stefanik's nomination is set to move on April 2, two sources familiar told Axios.

  • That will allow time for the winners of the Florida special elections on April 1 to fill the seats vacated by former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz, the new White House national security adviser.

Jeez, it's been so long I guess I sort of figured she was already there and just really quiet.
