Summary

President Trump withdrew Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-NY) nomination to serve as US Ambassador to the United Nations. The surprise move was made due to concerns over a potential competitive special election in her district, and the Republicans' already razor-thin majority in the House. The GOP is also worried about this Tuesday’s special elections in Florida’s 6th and 1st Congressional districts, where polls are shockingly close despite President Trump winning both handily back in November. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discusses what may be next for Rep. Stefanik and the other big headlines from Capitol Hill. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by billionaire Elon Musk, has remarkable influence on the Trump administration and the federal government. But until this week, the people behind the effort to cut government waste and fraud have been a bit of a mystery. On Thursday, FOX's Bret Baier sat down with several DOGE members and Elon Musk on Special Report to give a behind-the-scenes look into the department. Learn more about your ad choices.
