She made a fervent pitch on behalf of Donald Trump to the GOP base in her convention speech.
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik was among the vice presidential runners up who lost to Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. But that hasn’t dimmed her support of former President Donald Trump — and she got to sit with him in the VIP box Tuesday night. Stefanik said she spoke with Trump on Sunday, a day after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pa.: “God was looking down on him,” she told POLITICO in an interview after her convention speech. “He’s just excited about this unifying moment.
And she's on the front lines for this cycle in New York, spearheading efforts to retain five freshman lawmakers first elected to swing seats two years ago: Reps. Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, Brandon Williams, Anthony D'Esposito and Nick LaLota. Those races are expected to be pivotal for Republicans if they wish to keep their narrow majority in the House. Democrats are well aware of the stakes, too.
