Trump pulls the Stefanik nomination. Perhaps he's been watching elections in Iowa and PA where dems are flipping ruby red districts and feared dems would re-take the House?

Stefanik went from VP hopeful to ‘I’m just happy to be here’ in record time. She should start a podcast. It’s what all politicians do when they get benched.
Somewhere, Kari Lake is sweating
How long before Elon Musk gets his hands into these elections?
Nobody knows how much money would paying for this!
Perhaps? He’s bricking it (colloquial: shitting a brick; shitting himself)
When is he not shitting himself? The man was wearing what looked like waterproof pants during yesterday's "Women's day" event.
A nappy probably (diaper in the US)
So now a person can’t run if the king says no? I say fuck him.
Wonder who gave the rapist the order.
The good news here, besides Dems being a threat in red districts, Trump still plans to allow elections to occur. There's hope.
That’s good that he plans to keep elections going. He has zero constitutional power over that process. Unless he calls out the US Army to incarcerate all state elections officials, there’s little he can do to stop it. Bet many Dem governors are ready to say “Fuck Off” to mobilizing National Guard.
That's what we hope, certainly, but think about all he's done in only a couple of months. There are so many ways that a rogue president can declare a national emergency, we can't be sure of much of anything. What if some Supreme Court judges we are counting on die before the next election?
Whoever the potential candidates are must have terrible name recognition and/or polling.
The last I knew was the Democrats had selected their candidate, but the Republicans hadn't. I recognized two of the names on the Republican side. One because he is my current Assembly member, and the other one because he is the CEO of Stickermule and he decided to do stunts in support of Trump.
Oooooo, the Stickermule guy sucks!
The best part will be when she loses that seat anyway!!!
Trump wrote (or rather spoke) only five words of that. Who wrote the rest? Stephen Miller, or AI?
Even they are starting to hurt! Everything is up for grabs. MAGA does not like to be kept. They will turn on her! Get out the right messages!
They are afraid a Democrat will take her seat!
Good. Never let the bastards have a relaxing day.
Anthony Constantino pushing HARD for the Republican nomination. Wasn't going to happen even though he's all over talk radio with ads. If he didn't get the nod, he floated being an indy candidate possibly splitting the conservative vote and allow a Dem to win. Happened before with Tea Party here
Fuck the 2 of them…trash
Not certain I would like bring the fotus's pawn...but stefanik already sold her soul.
Hopefully, flushing one Karen won't nearly enough to stop the trend.
🛎️
Drumph needs her votes in regime congress.
Perhaps Flip NY-21 in 2026 #Vote Elise Stefanik (Republican Party) is a member of the U.S. House, representing New York's 21st Congressional District. She assumed office on January 3, 2015. Her current term ends on January 3, 2027
Imagine she's going to be pretty pissed. You think she might be the first to turn?
He'll send Musk out to fiddle the tabulation machines if he thinks he can get away with it, so I hope people are watching for this very closely.
She loses her Administration post, but Pete and the boys? They're fine.
Ah Stefanik, much like the fated Icarus, she too flew too close to the scum.
That about sums it up, and I gotta say I'm kinda liking the smell of fear coming from this bozo.
Well considering all he does is watch tv and golf, chances are he saw those ruby red districts flipping and crapped his adult diaper!
Its coming anyway. Its just a preview of whats to come. Couldn't have happened to a better person. How humiliating for Stefanik.
I think it’s more humiliating for Trump (if he could be humiliated).
Oh he's humiliated. Everything you see now is payback for the days he spent at the defense table and being labeled a felon.
He's running SCARED and he should be!
I wonder…
HuGE mAnDaTe
“The people love Elise”? Umm, there are some folks in the North Country who would like a word!! So cowardly, and so full of crap . . .
Perhaps
bsky.app/profile/theb...
It's already happened.
Remember, #America! Barely ONE-THIRD of Eligible Voters voted for Trump! Special Elections and Mid-Term Elections- Have Already Started Nationwide! #VOTE In ALL Elections! Our Lives Depend On It! BLUE UP the STATE HOUSES and COURTS! BLUE UP the House of Representatives! Strong First Steps!
Nothing sounded better today than Stefanik's ass being slammed back down in her seat. All the sucking up and soul-selling for NOTHING. Now, we need to make sure she loses that seat, too.
👏👏👏🙏
Trump is getting nervous about losing seats.
Keep in mind though, Dems are also down 2 seats because of the deaths of Turner and Grijalva.
My fellow New Yorkers need to show up!
I'm sure she's going to be his biggest fan and supporter from now on. I mean, she's the kind of person who would love being promoted to the world stage, only to have it rescinded.
That’s my guess
YA THINK?
I bet she's pretty unhappy about this. GOOD.
Music to my ears 🎶🎶….The orange dipshit is scared that Americans are starting to see their agenda isn’t in Americas best interest.
🤣 wonder if he’s also throwing in the speakers job as a trade off 🤣
All it takes is one disgruntled person…..
Absolutely!
Florida DEMS- please show up for this. We have one chance to fight this autocracy by showing up to vote. Vote BLUE and yes, it does matter who. Make sure the candidate you vote for is truly democratic, votes democratically, and shares the values of the party. Research them, And then vote.
Oh you know Stefanik must be PISSED! She gave up her leadership position for it too. If they were smart they would work overtime to keep her happy, but we all know that’s not Trump’s MO. I think this story may have legs. 🍿🍿🍿
The Republican candidate was going to be embarrassed
Nah, couldn't be.
Well, well… So we’re not “there” yet.
So close, though…
Trump definitely fears that...
Ugh.
Stefanik is the smart fat girl in high school who did the quarterback's homework all year, hoping he would invite her to prom. He didn't.
Bozo and the rest of the GQP are running scared.
But the mandate...I thought he had an overwhelming mandate?
So much for the mandate
Isn't she from a double digit Trump district? Their internal polling must be fucking BRUTAL.
I'm surprised he can do the math
They still can .people are pissed,like the kind that support convict 45
Pretty much ends her political rise. Likely her career in Congress will end next year too---it almost ended sooner. Well, she can live well on her Congressional retirement checks: full salary for life, $174.00 per year.
Or maybe he doesn’t think she’s Barbie-esque enough
Honestly, this is the first smart strategic thing I’ve noticed him doing since the inauguration. 😏
Now she can go back to doing nothing for her district.
So do they think these FL races may flip? I read they are closer than expected
4 vacant seats right now, 2 for deceased Dems that are likely to stay Dem, and the 2 in Florida, which are looking increasingly in play. Dems take those 4 and it's only a 218-217 GOP House. If Stefanik gave up her seat and it went to Dem, it would be the other way around. Can't risk it — says all!
They definitely are. The GOP's cultists don't show up for anything but Trump now, and that's a terrible dynamic for special elections in an off-year.
Coward thy name is Trump
Pulling Stefanik nomination is a sign of GOP panic. If they think her R+20 district would be in play were she to leave, then they realize they are in deep political peril in 2026.
That’s why they are trying so hard to suppress the vote in any way possible. 🤬
The Keebler Cookie House Speaker elf is panicking.
Could be that he has been told that the House GOP doesn't have the votes to pass his garbage policies?
“They” told him back in December, stop poaching the House Republicans. Do you fucking understand the phrase, razor thin majority?! No, I don’t. I understand that I have the Presidency and a fake made up mandate. You solve your house majority problem, I have very important golf to play.
Sounds just like him. Narcissistic, pompous, lazy grifter.
He pretty much says as much. That he thinks even Stefanik's seat could be in jeopardy when she won 62.1% of the vote only a few months ago indicates even Trump knows how much anger there is right now against GOP candidates, particularly the diehard Trumpers. Keep an eye on Wisconsin and Florida!
God help NY-21.
He s gonna make her speaker. He needs someone less clumsy than Johnson.
He probably saw the vote for trump sign guy trying to run for seat and scared him
President Stephen Miller keeps a close eye on everything….and everyone.
🤣 Bluesky needs more emojis. Sometimes a heart just doesn’t cut it
That or she dramatically Effed up behind closed doors. I wonder if anyone with access to trumps leaky team knows why?
The only reason but hopefully a few more wins for strong progressive democrats rather than old white men.
It means what we’re doing is working. Now we need to ramp it up x100 going forward.
Poor little sycophant didn't get her reward.
Guess we should anyways. :)
Stefanik = Charlie
A lot of platitudes on Trump’s part, but we know this is a move being done out of fear.
My heart goes out to the people of New York who just found out they aren’t getting rid of this weird little hobgoblin anytime soon.
😭😭😭🤬 I!Hate!Her!!!!
Any Democrat in those 2 Florida districts (Waltz and Gaetz) that thinks they are powerless and wonders what they can do? VOTE by April First...bring a friend and VOTE Blue. Voting is your power. Don't give in to the feeling of dread. Do your civic duty...get out and VOTE Together we can do this
Thanks to BS, I learned about this special election. The maga leaning news media here don’t advertise this sort of thing. Thank you, Blue Sky.
More than likely.
Sorry… no refunds,no returns…pos is worthless
The speech implies that they HAVE a mission. All I see is destruction. America is in a crisis like never before because of a weak Senate and Congress and a criminal President and his side kick Musk who is just as bad if not worse. HE has no one to answer to. IMO
#FLIPourHOUSE #FLIPourSENATE
😭 oh wait, just kidding.
All that groveling, and where did it get her? Right back where she started.
@repstefanik1.bsky.social you got played. You are nothing but a place holder for that traitor
I love this for her!
He's not paying attention. Most likely it was SoH Johnson who told him her seat would likely be taken by Dems.
The women are back in their places.
One seat can give the house Dems investigative and subpoena power
Political winds are changing, FL6 is in play as well, Josh Weil out fundraised the GOP candidate approaching 10:1. The GOP candidate thought it was in the bag and wasn't even campaigning until recently. Mike Waltz won by 33 points in Nov.
She can be voted out!
Wait, I was assured he had a mandate - sounds like now they don’t have trust in their voters. Mandate never existed and now He knows it too. Come on my fellow Floridians- please vote for Gay and Josh. Make the mandate bs talk disappear for good!
Exactly why.. they are scared
Right? Could this somehow mean they've completely written off one or both of the two Florida seats? Otherwise -- even if you're worried/unsure about them -- why not wait until after April 1 to see how those turn out?
Elise Stefanik wanted so badly to win the Eva Braun sweepstakes. I guess she's now out of the running.
Yep, runnin’ scared!!! 😱 🤣
It didn't help that a local MAGA wingnut threw a tantrum and threatened to run a 3rd party campaign for the seat because he wasn't chosen to be the official candidate. A 3 way race definitely would have fallen for the Democrats.
Shocker! Trump changing his mind! Everything is seat of the pants.
Whether Stefanie stays or goes, the Blue Wave is coming! Dems will take a lot of wins!
Trump doesn't care about what voters think...not really...because he's sure there will never be another election.
Shouldn’t politics be about making policy that people actually want instead of gaming the system and lying? Isn’t that the biggest clue something is wrong?
First things first. Republicans are worried about FL-6 special election coming on April 1st. Perhaps Florida will give us a surprise.
Dems would steal that seat in heartbeat and by a landslide right now. They’re dumb, but not THAT DUMB, I guess.
Let's keep pushing!! We have them on the run!! They are AFRAID!!! WE GOT THIS!!! 💙💙💙💪💪💪
I'd like to hold the special election anyway.
I wonder who brought that to his attention. He certainly does not have a clue other than his golf game or his portraits
"He" wouldn't know there were elections in Iowa and PA. "He" has people telling him what to do.
See how we have normalized this divisive rhetoric? Us and them? I thought the idea was TALK to your constituents who ELECTED you and go back and discuss and compromise with other lawmakers. We are NOT okay
That would help make his buddy Chuck a little less relevant
Good we have him running keep it up.
Stefanik has worked hard for his favor with hopes of a cabinet appointment to no avail, however, he appoints a heartless dog killer to a high profile post. What a crushing blow!
Very disappointed. I thought we might finally be free of her.
When the Amish tell you to fuck off, you know there’s a problem
Where is Nicole! primary assistant? I think her name is Mona? #BTG #BeyondTheGates
Exactly. I was looking forward to having a Democrat take her seat. I guess we'll have to wait until 2026.
I’m sorry Congress … no one deserves to be tortured by sycophantic Elise
dang! I was hoping he would not notice.
The minute democrats get in the majority, trump impeachment files will be drawn.
Nothing that would stick.
That is exactly what she gets. She groveled at the feet of Fat Nixon. Did not meet with her voters. Now she is right back where she started from lololol!
Can someone out there rewrite traitor trumps post that actually includes truthful statements? Thank you. Actually, this should be a full time position for all things trump and especially for his cabinets dis and mis information utterances.
Whoa
Sign up to phone bank for Josh Weil (FL district 6) track-mg.mobilize.us/CL0/https:%2...
Sign up to phone bank for Gay Valimont (Gaetz’s seat) track-mg.mobilize.us/CL0/https:%2...
She just has to wait until he ends elections
In a functioning democracy, it would not be POTUS deciding who represents the people he works for.
👊🇺🇸🔥
Trump is scared! knows no one wants to be friend with him anymore.
and she is PISSED. She gave up the number 3 seat in the House for this. I love it. F her. As a new Yorker, she's a disgrace.
You don’t say 🤣🤣🤣
EXACTLTY. We can win those seats!!!
I must be missing something bc I don’t understand why pulling her nomination will help them defend their majority.
There’s an election to fill her seat in the house. Well, there was.
Ahhhh. I knew I was missing something simple. Thank you.
What a shame. The UN will struggle to get by without her.
She’s gotta be pissed.
🤣😂😂 I hope she's mad as hell. You don't get to make your own decisions working for a tyrant.
Gee. Y'think?
Yeah getting 1 in FL and hers in NY would've flipped it to 217-216 for the Dems--MAGA GOP/Trump/Elon shitting their pants
He’s scared! And he should be
Looks like they’re scared.
She’ll be livid 😂
Does Elise Stefanik live in the 21st District, the one she reps? Who knows? On her official website, it doesn't say where she resides. Another one is Magaturd Nick LaLota. He lives in NY-02 (Amityville), not NY-01. He's been promising to move for over three years.
LOL. Poor little Elise worked so hard to transform herself from a moderate to Ultra Maga to become Trump’s little sweetheart & now this.
You bet.He can blame himself but he won't. Can't wait for November 2026.
It's hysterical that he thinks Elise is gonna help. . . She's a butt-ugly bandaid for the GOP bleeding.
He better have promised her Moses’ seat in a month or two… or she got screwed by the turnip… again.
They are also starting to worry down here in Florida about #FL06, the Trump chosen candidate is in a tight race in a VERY red district!
boooo
Can we enjoy, at least a little bit, the fact that she didn't get her promotion?
Damn, we were sliding that by them. But still have a couple to pick up 🤞
This stinks. The would-be Democratic candidate seemed like he had a good chance of winning.
😂😂
Needs to keep that slim GOP majority in the House. Greg Abbott is helping out by dragging out an election for the TX18 district--definitely a Dem majority district.
That's my guess, that they had polling showing that seat flipping if she vacates it.
I really don't think he's cognitively with-it enough to making such decisions. The man is well advanced into dementia. He does what his staff tells him to do.
Stephen Miller #Wormtongue
Good call!
Ya think?
Florida has two seats up on Tuesday. Wonder if means he’s worried.
100%
I believe so too
Yep agree
That seems obvious, doesn’t it?
Fear can work wonders. 😏
Trump is treating Elise like he does Tariffs. She's on, she's not.
She's blowing him.
Trump bet the house and he's losing. He knows it yet continues to double down trying to bluff his way through.
Does this mean we will have midterm elections? 😎
Kinda silly, we're taking the House regardless.
At the end of 2026 yeah. But we were poised to take it back next month.
Thanks. Been a little out of touch with all of it since hubs died last month.
He’s NERVOUS.
So, does that mean he expects that we will have mid term elections afterall? I thought that he may have had us opt out for 2026
I'm not sure "perhaps" was necessary in that sentence 😅
Felon trump is a coward, but of course we already knew that
Can't be much of a mandate if you're terrified that one seat might cost you control.
They’re finally retreating but it’s too late
ETTD. Bye
His agenda is wildly unpopular.
trump may be counting on a losing hand with stefanik since she announced that she was abandoning her constituents already and with the things that she has voted for, like gutting Social Security and Medicare and the VA, and NIH, etc. etc. ...
Man, is he full of shit.
He certainly didn't think of it on his own, someone told him 🤣
💯!
Someone probably wrote that , too!
Damn. Her district wanted her gone too.
Can she do this ?
Make her do a town hall.
