NEW YORK, N.Y. — House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik joined Newsmax’s FRONTLINE with Carl Higbie to react to the horrific Iranian ballistic missile attacks against Israel and emphasize the stark contrast between the failed foreign policy of Kamala Harris and the peace through strength experienced under President Trump.

View highlights from her interview below: 

 

On Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ Weak Foreign Policy:

“Well, I expect to hear from JD Vance a comparison of President Trump’s successful peace through strength foreign policy that strengthened our national security, that brought peace to the Middle East versus Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ weak foreign policy that has led to catastrophe: whether it was the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, or now Hamas’ attack against Israel–Hamas, of course, is an Iranian proxy–or today’s unprecedented Iranian direct attack against Israel with hypersonic ballistic missiles. Foreign policy is front and center for voters across the country, and JD Vance, I anticipate, will compare the success of President Trump versus weakness under Kamala Harris.”

 

On The Biden-Harris Administration’s Failure to Support U.S. Service Members:

“Not just now, you have to look at the past year how under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ watch, you had unprecedented Iranian proxy attacks at U.S. forces. I know this because I represent the 10th Mountain Division based at Fort Drum: the most deployed division in the U.S. Army since 9/11. And there have been service members who have been wounded because of Iranian proxy attacks. So for Kamala Harris to say that it shows how unfit she is to be Commander-in-chief. It’s just yet another example where she is not fit to step in the Oval Office as President of the United States. And when the world is on fire, we need absolute strength. We need security and peace. President Trump delivered that during his first term, and he will deliver that again when he’s elected President of the United States. That’s why the stakes are so high when it comes to the chaos and security of the world this election cycle.”

 

On How President Trump & JD Vance Deliver On The Important Issues For The American People:

“Well, first of all, JD Vance is going to tell his personal story which is an extraordinary one. He has lived the American dream, and it’s a story that resonates with many American families who feel left behind because of the failed policies of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. In addition, he’s going to touch on the economy which is top of the mind for voters across the country. Inflation continues to crush hardworking families, small businesses, and farms, and it’s a direct result of Kamala Harris’ tie breaking vote for the Inflation Expansion Act. JD Vance will also touch upon the border crisis caused by Joe Biden’s open border czar, none other than Kamala Harris. JD Vance will communicate to the American people about President Trump’s successful border security leading to the most secure border in our nation’s history.”
