WEST PALM BEACH, FL – In case you missed it, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik joined Fox Business’ Kudlow. |
View highlights from the interview below:
On President Trump’s Historic Victory: “Well, you’re exactly right, Larry. This is a historic, resounding victory, and it’s really a political realignment. President Trump has grown the Republican Party into a big tent party. Look at the historic support among Latino voters, African American voters, Jewish voters, suburban women voters turned out strong for President Trump, young voters. And that’s because his America First vision of putting American families, hardworking families, and workers, first when it comes to strong economic policies focused on economic growth, pushing back on the inflationary catastrophes under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden coupled with his strong message on securing the border and safety and security in communities. That appeals to every American, Larry, whether you are Republican, Democrat, or Independent. And for so long, the media has underestimated President Trump’s ability to speak to the everyday man and woman and to listen to them, and the media elites have totally missed that in the polling. Look at the shattering of the Blue Wall. Look at the popular vote, and then look at his performance in Blue states, traditionally, like New York. He did better in the state of New York than any other Republican candidate since Ronald Reagan. That is a historic feat. So, there’s going to be a lot of discussion. But this is the new Republican Party to stay, and it’s President Trump’s party.”
On Voters Wanting a New Direction: “We are going to pick up more seats in the House. And here is why, Larry: if you look at how strong President Trump ran in California, this is stronger than 2020, and we were able to hold those seats in 2020 and in 2022. I think we have a pick-up opportunity there. We have a pick-up opportunity in Alaska. The Northern Maine district is moving our way. So the media was so quick to say that Democrats would gain seats. We think we will build this Majority based upon the data we have. Remember, we already flipped two seats in Pennsylvania. We flipped a district in Michigan. We gained a district in North Carolina with redistricting. Unfortunately, we held the line in New York with two losses there, but we came out very strong. Democrats tried to build their Majority through New York State, and we stopped that. But you said something very important, and I always say this when I speak to voters because I believe it. The American people are smart. Voters are smart. So when you have a Democrat Party saying, ‘The economy is strong. The economy is working.’ And yet, voters and the American people go to the grocery store every single day. They see the increase in prices eating away at their family’s budget. They see the wage and salary cuts because of the inflationary impacts. People see with their own eyes no matter how much the mainstream media and the Democrat Party tried to push this narrative. I agree with you. Voters are smart. They wanted a new direction, and that’s why they voted for Trump.”
On Fighting the Far Left’s Failed Democrat Agenda: “We’re going to Larry, and here is what is important. It’s not just higher ed institutions. It’s in our government bureaucracies as well. So we are going to need strong people at the helm in the Trump Administration to root out the DEI and the CRT rot that the Left and the Democrats have put into place. Whether it’s all of the agencies, we see it in DOD in my position on the House Armed Services Committee. We see it at the U.N. We see it in the intelligence agencies as well. We need to focus on the key missions of those agencies and not this progressive wishlist that has really turned into intellectual laziness and has not allowed merit to rise to the top. We are a meritocratic society. We want exceptionalism and give everyone equal opportunity, not pitting people against one another. I was proud to lead that fight. And I will tell you, Larry, if you look at President Trump’s overperformance with Jewish voters specifically in the state of Pennsylvania, we set off an earthquake with those congressional hearings. It mattered significantly coupled with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s failure to stand with Israel compared to President Trump’s strong record. So people have woken up, and they’re making their voices heard through their vote.”
On We the People Electing President Trump: “Thank you, Larry. It is a great day in America, and we’re grateful for the American people’s support for President Trump. It’s We the People that saved this country by voting for President Trump, flipping the Senate, and we will hold the House.” |
