New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is considering running for governor in her home state, according to allies. Stefanik, a former bipartisan lawmaker who rose to prominence as a Trump ally, has not confirmed her intentions. She has been critical of Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul, whose approval rating remains at 39% according to a recent poll. Stefanik's potential candidacy could face challenges in a blue state and within the GOP, but her strong fundraising and ties to Trump may give her an advantage.
