...Oh, noze! Not him!...praised upstate Rep. Elise Stefanik as a superstar on track "to have an incredible career" as a Republican leader Wednesday night, during a fundraiser he hosted for her at his New Jersey golf course.
"Elise has been incredible and loyal to our movement. We have to make sure she’s able to win big and raise the money she needs to help lead our party to retake the House," Trump told a room of around 50 donors at his National Golf Course Bedminster, according to a partial transcript obtained by The Post.
"I see she has the radical crazies after her, crazy Democrats, meaning she’s already doing an amazing job as our Conference Chair," he gushed.
"I’m with Elise 100 percent, she’s going to have an incredible career, we have to back her 100 percent."
Trump first met with Stefanik (R-NY) one-on-one at Bedminster around 4:30 p.m., followed by about an hour and a half-long roundtable with about 20 top donors. He then addressed supporters around 6:30 p.m. in a larger reception, taking photos and chatting with guests afterwards.
