“I want to congratulate Elise on her success. Man is she moving fast. That means at this rate she’ll be President in about 6 years,” Trump remarked. “She’s always been a friend and people would say she’s upwardly mobile. She goes to Washington as a young beautiful woman who took over and all of a sudden she becomes a rocket ship, she’s the boss. She’s been a great boss, a strong boss.”

A latest report from CNN detailed how Stefanik may very well be Trump’s operating mate in 2024 ought to he determine to run.

Whereas discuss a 2024 vice presidential decide is after all untimely, conversations about including Stefanik to a future Trump ticket have gained steam in latest weeks at Mar-a-Lago and in different Republican circles, sources stated. Present and former advisers and others in Trump’s orbit have privately argued that the New York Republican, who changed Rep. Liz Cheney because the no. 3 Home Republican final 12 months, is a fierce and dependable assault canine, and Trump would profit from tapping a lady for vp ought to he run once more.

We’re working as one team to make sure that our voters turn out and I will tell you, voters across this country have buyer’s remorse for those that voted for Joe Biden because they’re seeing the devastating impacts of his policies and they were doing a lot better under President Trump’s leadership,” Stefanik stated.

“So, we have an opportunity to win, just not Republicans, but independents and Democrats. That’s how I’ve been able to win my district, and that’s a recipe for success elsewhere in the country.

We worked as one team both with people that voted for President Trump, but also earning back those voters who maybe they voted for Joe Biden, but they see the inflation, they see the skyrocketing energy,” she added.
