Trump's Cabinet Picks Face GOP House Challenges

TL;DR Summary
President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet selections are complicated by the need to maintain a slim Republican majority in the House. While Trump has named Rep. Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador and Rep. Mike Waltz as national security adviser, further appointments from the House could risk Speaker Mike Johnson's control. With a narrow majority expected, losing more GOP votes could be problematic. Trump may consider appointing House members already planning to leave or look to the Senate, where options are also limited by the current political balance.
