The representative Elise Stefanik, RN.y., is considering an offer for governor in 2026, multiple sources close to her confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Stefanik was withdrawn from the consideration as an ambassador of the United Nations of President Donald Trump in underpinning the number of the narrow majority of the Republicans of the Chamber. Now she is the president of the republican leadership of the Chamber.
The sources tell Fox News Digital who is being encouraged to administer Trump’s allies and lifelong friends. Stefanik beat the president in his Congress district in 2016, 2020 and 2024, that a source says or indicated that he could do it well with the New York swing voters. The Republican won with 62% of the votes in his strongly conservative district in November.
On Wednesday, Stefanik presented the case of a Republican victory in New York this year when he commented on a Marist survey that shows the governor Hochul approach to be underwater with New York voters. “This last bomb survey demonstrates what all New Yorkers already know: that we must say goodbye to Kathy Hochul in 2026 to save New York. Hochul is the governor of sausages in the United States and is not equally close.”
Its incompetence, corruption and radical policies failed in the left have destroyed our great state, which makes companies and families crush high taxes, out of control regulations, inept fiscal fiscal prosecutor Mismanage, wide sanctuary of the city of the city that the first and the new new Yorkers put the latter, and a crime out of control of the crisis of the crises of the crisis by the crisis of the crisis of the crisis of the crisis The failed police. “Hochul said in the statement.

“Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is great!” Trump published in Truth Social on Wednesday morning.
It has $ 10 million in cash through its entities, and is a popular consider among Republican voters in the state. Stefanik was the main speaker at a Republican event in New York on Tuesday night.
At the time of the retirement of her nomination, the Republican congresswoman said it was a matter of maintaining the line in Congress.
“I am proud to be a team player. The president knows it and I had multiple conversations today, and we are committed to delivering results in the being of American people. And as always, I am committed to delivering results,” Bast of Mystitents.

Trump said he would work to find a replacement selection, which has not yet announced the leg.
“As we advance in our first agenda in America, it is essential that we be Mintain in all Republican seats in Congress. We must be unified to fulfill our mission, and Elise Stefanik has a vital part of our efforts from the beginning,” the president published in Truth published.
“I have asked Elise, as one of my greatest allies, to remain in Congress to help me deliver historical tax cuts, excellent jobs, record economic growth, a safe border, energy domain, peace through strength and much more, so that we can make America Grace, Great America risk the opportunity for anyone who runs for the Elise seat.
Who wins the primary could be in the general elections against Democratic governor Kathy Hochul, who had a difficult fight against the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin in 2022, when he was in Congress at that time.

Stefanik is far from being the only republican known in the state of New York, considering a 2026 race for governor.
Representative Mike Lawler, R_N.y., A moderate who is in his second term that represents the 17th District of the State Congress, which covers a large strip of the northern suburbs of the city of New York, is reflecting a sentence.
“I will make a decision at some point, in the middle of the year. Obviously, you know, if we are going to do it, you have to leave and you have to campaign hard,” Lawler said last week in an interview with Fox News Digital.
He added: “When she was still a decision. I think, obviously, there are a number of factors at stake, but you know, we are working on that at this time.”
Among the other Republicans who weigh a governor career are the Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who like Stefanik is a great ally of Trump and Bethany Town Town’s supervisor for a long time, Carl Hyde Jr.
23 years have passed since a Republican won a governor choice in the state of New York very blue. You have to return to the former government. George Pataki’s second re -election victory in 2002.
“The Republican primaries in New York will be an unpleasant and vicious race to see who can be the most trampifa, and more out of contact with New Yorkers,” said the spokesman for the association of democratic governors Kevin Donohe. “The three potential candidates in this race are running to bring Donald Trump’s extreme agenda to increase costs and eliminate fundamental freedoms to Albany, and could not be out of tune with New York.”

But Hochul’s approval classifications and favorable qualifications remain under water, giving Republicans the hope that the los loracio streak comes to an end next year. The governor also faces possible main challenges of his lieutenant governor, Antonio Delgado, as well as the representative Ritchie Torres, Dn.Y.
In 2022, Rarin had the best performance of a republican governor candidate in New York since Pataki’s victory in 2002. Rarin, who now directs the Environmental Protection Agency in President Donald Trump’s Second administration, lost to Hochul for less than six and a half points.
And Trump lost the State to then Vice President Kamala Harris for 13 points in the presidential elections last November, but that was an improvement of 10 points from his loss margin before Joe Biden in the 2020 elections.
“What really says is that you have three very qualified Republican candidates who look at him,” a veteran Republican strategist who works in the New York state races told Fox News. “I think it shows you [Hochul’s] Vulnerability. “
Stefanik’s departure could still have an impact on the majority of three seats of the Republicans of the House of Representatives, but the leaders of the Republican Party hope to take their plans for a massive review of conservative policies through the budget reconciliation process per year.
If governor is chosen, Stefanik would not have to leave the house until the end of December 2025.
His vote was critical to advance in the legislation earlier this month. The bill seemed at risk of failing with the transfer of a tense procedural vote last week, but Stefanik, who was among the last to cast his vote, took him from 216 to 215.
