Republican Representative Elise Stefanik recently appeared on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo, where she addressed several pressing issues, including her potential candidacy for Governor of New York and President Trump's legislative agenda.
During the interview, Stefanik highlighted the importance of passing a significant bill associated with President Trump, which she described as a cornerstone of his administration's achievements.
Bartiromo inquired about the likelihood of the bill's passage by Memorial Day, to which Stefanik responded, "First of all, it is House Republicans responsibility to deliver the hallmark of President Trumps agenda, where he won a historic popular vote. We know the stakes are incredibly high, and we are committed to getting this done."
According to Gateway Pundit, Stefanik emphasized the bill's comprehensive nature, stating, "This one big, beautiful bill, it includes so many important provisions, unleashing American energy independence, continuation of the historic Trump tax cuts, and also adding no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security."
The conversation then shifted to Stefanik's potential gubernatorial run in New York. Bartiromo questioned whether her campaign would focus on reducing taxes, referencing a New York Post story. Stefanik expressed her strong consideration for the role, citing the challenges posed by current Democratic leadership.
"Well absolutely, I am strongly considering because look at the crisis that Kathy Hochul, a single party Democrat rule, have delivered to New York. This has been over the period of decades," she remarked. Stefanik further elaborated on the state's economic and energy issues, noting, "We have an economic crisis, an affordability crisis. If you look, we are the highest tax State in the nation," and "We are also the most anti-energy State in the country. You have a ban on fracking."
Additionally, Bartiromo addressed President Trump's stance on anti-Semitism, particularly his decision to revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status. Stefanik praised the President's actions, asserting, "A hundred percent President Trump did the right thing. This is an issue that I have been the leader on in the House, and it takes a strong President to deliver zero tolerance when it comes to anti-Semitism."
She highlighted the longstanding nature of the issue at Harvard, mentioning, "This is a systematic issue that has happened not just since October 7th, but over decades at Harvard, whether its the curricula, whether its the professors, or whether its the Universitys failure to enforce the rules."
Stefanik's remarks underscore her commitment to conservative principles, advocating for lower taxes, energy independence, and a firm stance against anti-Semitism. As she contemplates a gubernatorial bid, her focus remains on addressing the challenges facing New York under current Democratic leadership.
