U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has offered Republican Representative Alice Stefanik the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, CNN reported Sunday.

Stefanik, chairman of the House Republican National Committee, was for years one of Trump's most ardent supporters in Congress. Surprised during his impeachment hearings in 2019, she became a "Republican star," as Trump said at the time.

After Biden was elected president in 2020, she opposed certifying his win in the House of Representatives and promoted Trump's claims of election fraud.

Stefanik hasn't always been Trump's biggest fan. Initially, she voted against one of his signature legislative victories, the 2017 tax plan. During his 2016 presidential campaign, as well as in her early days in office, she continued to criticize him, but later went from opponent to sympathetic. She said that was partly due to Trump's popularity in her county in upstate New York.

She openly ran alongside Trump in the last election, telling CNN earlier this year that she was "proud to be a senior surrogate" and would "proudly serve in the Trump administration in the future."

Stefanik is known for her support of Israel-United States relations, and made headlines last year with her campaign to oust college leaders who did not adequately condemn antisemitism during a House debate on the issue.
