Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) dodged a question about whether former President Trump considered her as a potential running mate during their recent meeting at Mar-a-Lago.
Instead, she emphasized the Republican Party’s unity and the presence of many rising stars. Stefanik mentioned that several names are being considered for the vice presidential slot, and she feels honored to be among them.
Stefanik, along with other potential vice presidential contenders like Lara Trump, Mike Johnson, Doug Burgum, Kristi Noem, and Tim Scott, attended the gathering at Mar-a-Lago.
The event aimed to show support for Trump’s presidential campaign and highlighted the party’s unity. Stefanik has not ruled out the possibility of being Trump’s running mate and has previously expressed her support for him, even stating that she would not have certified the 2020 election results if she were in Mike Pence’s position.
Stefanik’s response focused on the Republican Party’s strength and unity, emphasizing the presence of many talented individuals working to “save America.”
She framed the gathering as demonstrating the party’s cohesiveness and commitment to supporting Trump’s campaign. The speculation surrounding Trump’s running mate continues, with several potential contenders in the mix.
