House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) said she was open to the possibility of being former President Donald Trump’s running mate.

In an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Ms. Stefanik was informed about President Trump’s remarks in September last year, when the former president said that he liked “the concept” of having a female running mate. Given the former president’s mindset, the congresswoman was asked if she would consider the position if called upon.
