The former president has spoken highly of the New York congresswoman, and his allies say she's high on the list of vice presidential prospects.
WASHINGTON — During a candlelit dinner with Mar-a-Lago members in late December, former President Donald Trump walked around the table as the conversation turned to one of the biggest decisions he’d have to make should he become the Republican nominee: Whom should he pick to be his running mate?
That’s when Rep. Elise Stefanik, the hard-charging upstate New York Republican, came up, according to a person at the dinner table. Attendees around Trump raved about her viral moment just weeks before, when she grilled three university presidents at a congressional hearing about antisemitism on campus.
At the thought of Stefanik as a possible choice for vice president, Trump nodded approvingly.
“She’s a killer,” Trump said, according to the person at the event.
Ever since then, Trump and a growing group of allies have started to look more closely at Stefanik as a running mate, according to eight people familiar with the matter, including people in Trump’s orbit, Stefanik fundraising bundlers and former Trump administration officials.
At the time, the 39-year-old congresswoman was at the crest of a wave of national publicity after taking on the top leaders of Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Their answers to the question, “Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your college’s] rules on bullying and harassment?” eventually resulted in two of them resigning and brought a firestorm of criticism on the schools.
I LIKE her! BUT, she is not known well enough.
I think its Kristi Noem.
“She will fight harder than Pence.”
Pollyanna will fight harder than Pence.
DITTO
Whatever it takes for PDJT to get to Operation Warpfactor2 COVIDboogalu 2025!
Kari Lake would be a good choice.
“My vote would be Sarah Huckabee Sanders”
Me too!
Dr. Ben Carson?
Great choice. I follow her on Twitter, never says a misplaced word. Grounded, highly intelligent, Definite conservative with a just enough give to keep liberals from freaking out too much.
Right you are. I’ve been following her on Twitter for a couple of years. Smart woman.
I was thinking he would choose Bergum, BUT I WOULD BE ECSTATIC IF TRUMP WERE TO CHOOSE...ELISE STEFANIK.
I have grown more and more fond of her by the day.
And I shamefully admit that I was hoping it WOULDN’T BE A FEMALE.
Elise is different. She is solid, serious, knowledgeable and best of all...SHE IS EFFECTIVE.
She would be an asset. So happy, if it’s true.
with all due respect, women tend to have an abominably bad record in politics.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders has the added advantage of being a great governor, and great press secretary!
Just loved her attack on the plagiarist at Harvard
Trump will not pick Sanders because she is Pro-Life.
“I prefer Sanders. ... Trump defender”
I dunno. I recall when she was the one chosen to do the conservative response to (I think) a SOTU address by Biden. She clearly implied that the GOP needs younger blood, i.e., Trump is too old. Haven’t been a fan since that happened.
Quien Es Mas Macho?
Mike Pence or Elise Stefanik?
Quien Es Mas Macho?
Thanks, I’m going to look that up. Hopefully she meant most everyone but Trump. He seems pretty lively to me.
Pompeo?
Ben Carson is too nice.
America needs a tough fighting warrior (like Trump) to win our CW2.
And Pompeo pursued no such plan. We couldn't even get him extradited.
Assange is your classic traitor.
P.S. We even paid for Manning's transition.
Pompeo is the good guy.
