MORE abruptly resigned as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations (U.N.) on Tuesday, a development that sent shockwaves through Washington just a month before the midterm elections. Haley announced her decision during a hastily announced meeting with MORE in the Oval Office a week after sending him written notice of her resignation, saying she wanted to take a break from public service and vowing to back Trump for reelection in 2020. “It’s been eight years of intense time and I’m a big believer in term limits,” Haley said.

One of the most intense midterm election campaigns in recent memory is growing even more vicious in the aftermath of a partisan brawl over Supreme Court Justice MORE that deeply angered conservatives and liberals alike. Both parties are seizing on the issue, with Republicans in close Senate races going on the attack in red states against Sens.

Republicans on Capitol Hill and party strategists are surprised and a bit annoyed by the timing of MORE’s decision to resign from the Trump administration. Publicly, Republican lawmakers are effusively praising Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who is a star among the party’s conservative base.
