WASHINGTON, DC – In case you missed it, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik joined CBS Mornings with Tony Doukopil on CBS News.

View highlights from the interview below. 

On Women Campaigning for President Trump Across the Country:

“Well, I think it’s important to point out, in addition to the data you just shared, Tony, President Trump is doing better with women than Kamala Harris is doing with men. So this is a real challenge for Kamala Harris’ campaign. And you know, I’m proud to be one of the strong and intelligent women, despite Kamala Harris’ allies and her campaigns attacking us, who have worked very hard campaigning with President Trump. You see governors like Sarah Huckabee Sanders, as well as Kristi Noem, crisscrossing the country, Lara Trump, myself. President Trump’s campaign is led, of course, by Susie Wiles. But our message is, if you look at President Trump’s leadership, there were more women in the workforce than ever before. We had the highest wage and salary increase in President Trump’s economy. And then compare that to where we are today: inflation is at a historic high. You have a wide open border with major concerns about safety and security. Our message is one that resonates with all Americans: Secure the border. Grow the economy. Bring peace through strength national security policy back to the White House.”

On Stefanik’s Message to Voters on Election Day:

“No, I think voters are excited to make their voices heard. Ultimately, it’s We the People who determine our elected officials. And I think you’re seeing a pouring out of support. People are, you know, surging to get their early votes in to vote on Election Day. So my message to the American people is, get your vote out. It is so important. Stay in line at the polls. Make sure your voice is heard, and we want to encourage everyone to turn out to vote. And that’s why President Trump, but candidates across the country, have been crisscrossing the country to encourage people to get out to the vote. And I will say one of the most important data points this election cycle, Tony, is over 80 percent of the American people feel that we are on the wrong track. It is time to make sure that we as a country return to the effective policies that we saw: a booming economy, a secure border, and stable, strong national security policy that we saw under President Trump. That appeals to not just Republicans but also Independents and registered Democrats as well.”

On President Trump Being Fit to Serve:

“Oh I have zero concerns about it. I have campaigned on these long days with President Trump, and the youngest of the team have to work hard to keep up with his pace. Look at just the past few days. He has crisscrossed the country, doing rally after rally. He has done more public events than Kamala Harris since Kamala Harris was anointed as the nominee. He is on top of every key issue, legislatively, policy issues around the world. You can see that in his interviews. You can see that just in the pace he keeps up. No one can keep up the same pace he does. So I have zero concerns about it. He has released many of his medical records before. That has been something that the media falsely has attacked him on. But he is, the American people know that they’re going to vote for a fit president when they vote for President Trump. There is absolutely no question about that.”
