(The Guardian) Elise Stefanik considering run for New York governor
Republican representative Elise Stefanik is considering a run for New York governor, two sources familiar with the matter it have told NBC News.
NBC reports that of the sources said Stefanik is seriously considering a run after receiving encouragement from Republicans in New York, members of the Trump world and GOP donors.
The potential move comes after Donald Trump abruptly withdrew Stefanik’s nomination to be US ambassador to the UN and asked her to stay in Congress instead, where she has been given a new leadership arrangement.
Politico reports the sources believe she is formidable enough to stand a chance in the traditionally blue state. She has enjoyed longtime support from Trump, who this morning posted about her on Truth Social: “Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is GREAT!!!”
