Elise Stefanik reminds voters that under Trump ‘women never had it better’ – Washington Examiner

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) made a plea to female voters to consider how they “were better off under President Trump.”

With a little over two weeks left until Election Day, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are scrambling to edge each other out. A RealClearPolitics poll average showed Harris had a slight 1-point lead. As one of the national chairs of Women for Trump, Stefanik argued that the economic outlook during Trump’s term benefited women more than the Biden-Harris administration.

“Under President Trump’s successful leadership women never had it better. Look at the economic success. You had the highest number ever of women in the workforce, the lowest unemployment rate in modern times for women,” Stefanik said on Fox News’s Sunday Night in America With Trey Gowdy. “President Trump expanded access to childcare. It was also President Trump that delivered paid family leave for women in government.”

Women saw the highest historic wages and also founded more small businesses than ever before, according to Stefanik. Meanwhile, inflation crippled women’s livelihoods.

“Women are feeling the brunt of this terrible economy under Kamala Harris,” Stefanik added. “So as women are making this decision, overwhelmingly look at your experience under President Trump versus how it is today. We were better off under President Trump.”

Stefanik was nominated as the House Republican Conference chairwoman during Trump’s presidency, replacing then Rep. Liz Cheney who vocally opposed the president at the time. Trump endorsed Stefanik over Cheney ahead of her nomination.
