Trump's praise for Stefanik, first reported by The New York Post, comes on the heels of the New York congresswoman emerging as one of his most ardent defenders.
"I want to congratulate Elise on her success," Trump said, according to the Post. "Man is she moving fast. That means at this rate she'll be president in about 6 years."
Stefanik voted against certifying the 2020 election results on the day of the January 6 insurrection and has defended Trump's voter-fraud lies, often under the pretext of "tens of millions of Americans" lacking confidence in the legitimacy of President Joe Biden's victory.
She was also tapped to take over Rep. Liz Cheney's House GOP leadership post after the Wyoming congresswoman drew Trump's ire for calling out his election lies and voting for his second impeachment.
