Stefanik is amazing and we need her in the congress. She debates like a champion.

[FrancisDrake-qj]

Ha! Can't wait for Stefanik's 1st town hall. She ain't going to like it.

[aletajary]

So, lay it out...
Does she have a job?
Or is she jobless?
Did she lose plum committee assignments?
Did she give up her house?

[FrancisDrake-qj]

What's Trump 'pulling'? Putin's pudenda?

[caroleminke]

Honestly he’s honest for once 😉 didn’t want to lose another seat!

[michaelspring]

Sucks to be Stefanik. Penthouse back to the odd house

[Richard-sdn]

I wonder how many times Elise had to change Trump's diaper during his campaign.🤣🤣🤣

[janetcaldwell]

My PresidentTrump has been right about

[zachisaacson]

THIS was where he was worried about taking a chance????

[janetcaldwell]

Thank you, dear Jesus for Trump election

[indigochouinard]

It will make me VERY HAPPY if she ends up voting for her people and her principles rather than fall in line for him. The first thing she should do is have a Town Hall to see what her constituents are thinking.

[emelialackner]

aka.MIDGE. After all the stupid choices you've made so far, you pull her. You are a super jerk!.

[johnmotta]

Trump said he has a mandate. What is he afraid of.

[Arigna]

Donald Trump know best what best for the country and looks at Elon Musk and the stock market.

[johnkarpierz]

Yeah. Quit switching it up just for bigger jobs.

[charlottejohnson]

See if elon will run there to try paying people to vote rep.
