Stefanik Says GOP Women Will Topple Democrats

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) says that female Republican congressional candidates have Democrats "running for the hills."

"I didn't hear a lot of Democrats moving up to run for office in these target districts," Stefanik said at a Monday press conference. "I think most of them are playing defense."

Stefanik appeared alongside 10 "rising stars" she recently endorsed through her E-PAC, which works to elect female Republicans to office. Including these candidates—a group that includes a veteran and several Trump administration alums—Stefanik believes 50 Republican women could hold seats in Congress come November.

Republicans are bullish about their midterm prospects as Democrats struggle in the polls. More than 70 percent of Americans say the United States is on the wrong track under President Joe Biden, according to a recent NBC News poll. The same poll reported that the president's approval rating plummeted to 40 percent, an all-time low.
