Reports have surfaced indicating Donald Trump is considering Representative Elise Stefanik as a potential running mate in 2024.
Sources told CNN that the former President likes the New York congresswoman whom they describe as a “moderate-turned-MAGA star.”
“Conversations about adding Stefanik to a future Trump ticket have gained steam in recent weeks at Mar-a-Lago and in other Republican circles,” the media outlet is reporting.
Sources close to Trump reportedly point out Stefanik has become “a fierce and loyal attack dog,” and that the ticket “would benefit from tapping a woman for vice president” should he run again in 2024.
Elise Stefanik was tapped to replace Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) as the number three Republican in the House after the former neglected her party principles and focused exclusively on denigrating Donald Trump.
Stefanik became conference chair in May of 2021 thanks in part to Trump’s endorsement.
