NBC News National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki is at the big board to highlight the major findings of the latest NBC News poll. NBC News Correspondents Dasha Burns, Kelly O'Donnell and Shaquille Brewster join Meet the Press NOW to discuss the latest from the campaign trail.
Rep. Elise Stefanik, the highest-ranking GOP woman in the House, is leading a charge to break the record for Republican women serving in the chamber, just six years after a blue wave wiped out their ranks. Stefanik, R-N.Y., who chairs the GOP conference, has been focused on boosting the ranks of Republican women in the House ever since she sounded the alarm about the “crisis level” after the 2018 midterms, when the number of GOP women dwindled to just 13.
Asked about that decline, Stefanik pointed to fewer Republican retirements and fewer GOP targets this year, with Republicans in the majority. For Stefanik, the effort to recruit more GOP women to run for the House has been a resounding success. She said her push to support female candidates coincided with her own rise during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment hearings. The national profile helped her build a massive small-dollar fundraising list, which she has shared with candidates.
