MILWAUKEE, WI — In case you missed it, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik joined Fox Business’ Kudlow from Milwaukee to discuss President Trump’s pathway to victory in New York State, Far Left Democrats’ DEI agenda fueling antisemitism on college campuses across the country, and why young voters are increasingly supporting President Trump.
Watch the full segment here or read the highlights below.
On President Donald Trump Winning New York:
If you look, in every swing district Donald Trump is pulling ahead. These were districts Joe Biden won by 15, 17 points. Donald Trump is ahead in each of those swing districts and within the state, he is within single digits. This shows that he is growing the Republican Party and as we saw in the midterms it was New York that delivered the House Republican majority and we saw Lee Zeldin’s exceptional run for governor. It is moving in the Republican direction and President Trump, there is enthusiasm behind his candidacy so I believe he will be the first Republican president in two generations to potentially win New York State.
On DEI Being the Root of Antisemitism on Campuses Across the Country:
We’ve seen as we’ve conducted oversight of our higher ed institutions with that now infamous congressional hearing with the former presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT, when we see this antisemitic rot, the DEI agenda is propping up antisemitism and propping up anti-Americanism. Take the case of Harvard. Even prior to the October attacks from Hamas on Israel, there were hundreds of Jewish students who reached out to the office of DEI. They did not even get a response. So it just shows that in the root of DEI is antisemitism and we are a nation that’s based upon merit, that’s based upon excellence, that’s based upon the American dream and the DEI radical Far Left agenda is crushing that American dream. And I think that is why you’re seeing President Trump and the Republican Party support continue to grow among all Americans, all different groups. African-American: historic support. Hispanic-American: historic support. So it’s a really exciting time to be here in Milwaukee.
What Young Voters Are Looking for in a Candidate:
You touched upon a really important group: young voters. Look at Joe Biden struggling with young voters. President Trump continues to make inroads with young voters. I am technically a millenial. I was born in 1984. I just turned 40. But those young voters are seeing the economy is crushing us, the highest rate of inflation in our lifetime, the inability for young families to purchase their first home. So people are feeling the impact. Young families and young professionals are feeling the negative impact of failed Biden-economics and they compare that with the strength under President Trump’s very strong, pro-America economic agenda.
