Failed GOP U.S. Senate candidate John James, who called the Democratic Party "Godless" during his campaign in Michigan, and gave opponent Sen. Debbie Stabenow a bit of an Election Night with his better-than-expected showing, is not getting the nod from the White House for something big.
James, who was on the shortlist of candidates to be nominated for U.N. ambassador, has been bypassed. President Donald Trump tweeted on Friday:
I am pleased to announce that Kelly Knight Craft, our current Ambassador to Canada, is being nominated to be United States Ambassador to the United Nations....

....Kelly has done an outstanding job representing our Nation and I have no doubt that, under her leadership, our Country will be represented at the highest level. Congratulations to Kelly and her entire family!
