Since 2015, Stefanik, the current House Republican Conference Chair, has represented New York's 21st District in upstate New York. Over the years, she has risen to prominence as an influential Republican and a MAGA politician.
One thing that may make Stefanik a likely candidate is her wide range of appeal to both moderate and MAGA voters. A college student from Stefanik's district who spoke to TAC under condition of anonymity said, 'I can say as a registered Democrat that Elise is a fan favorite in upstate NY.'
Regarding a Trump-Stefanik ticket, the student said, '100%, even as a Dem and pretty strong one, I'd vote for Trump if it meant getting Elise to [be] VP. I can say that Elise does actually pull a lot of the moderate Dems in the district, so I'm not alone in this thought.'
