President-elect Donald Trump offered Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) the role of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to a CNN report.

Stefanik was already considered to be at the top of Trump’s short list for the position, according to a report from earlier in the week.

One of Trump’s most vocal supporters, Stefanik was one of the runners-up to be Trump’s vice president. She gained increased attention earlier this year for criticizing university presidents’ responses to antisemitism on college campuses following widespread anti-Israel protests across the country.

She is currently chairwoman of the House Republican Conference.

Stefanik just handily secured her reelection to represent New York’s 21st Congressional District earlier this week. Now that the seat will be vacated, a special election will be held to fill it. It would most likely go to another Republican, as the district is R+4, according to Cook Political Report.
