A Killer Decision

GOP candidate Donald Trump is reportedly considering picking Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to be his running mate in the 2024 election, praising her last month as “a killer.”

Reports surfaced Wednesday that Stefanik came up as a suggestion during a dinner Trump had at Mar-a-Lago, shortly after she went viral with her sharp interrogation of college presidents about campus antisemitism.

Trump seemed to approve of the suggestion and nodded, according to the media outlet, and added, “she’s a killer.”

Stefanik announced Wednesday that she would be joining Trump on the campaign trail in New Hampshire. 

“America will elect President Trump the next President to save America,” she wrote on social media. 

Plenty of potential veep contenders have gone through the rumor mill in recent months. And Trump told Fox last week that he already knows who his running mate will be.
