Just a few years ago, Stefanik was rated the 13th most bipartisan House member. She also differed from Trump on several key issues — but times have changed.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“I believe that the path to growing the GOP is to have a positive message with new types of candidates,” Stefanik said during her first years in Congress, saying America’s voters were tired of the same old politics.
When she was a student at Harvard, Stefanik reportedly found an ally in John Bridgeland, a Republican who was working at the Kennedy School of Government’s Institute of Politics after leaving the Bush administration.
It seems to be a requirement for today’s highest-profile politicians: the ability not only to survive controversies, but to transform potential snags into opportunities for greater support — and campaign donations.
As NPR reported, a Stefanik ad aimed at Democrats stated, “Their plan to grant amnesty to 11 MILLION illegal immigrants will overthrow our current electorate and create a permanent liberal majority in Washington.”
Stefanik has a complicated relationship with her alma mater: Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government severed its relations with the politician in 2021, citing her alliance with those attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
In her original message, Stefanik spoke of the importance of the U.S. having an “influential seat at the table,” and she linked the broad priorities of business innovation and lower carbon emissions to the quality of life in her district.
