GOP candidate Donald Trump is reportedly considering picking Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to be his running mate in the 2024 election, praising her last month as "a killer."

NBC News reported Wednesday that Stefanik came up as a suggestion during a dinner Trump had at Mar-a-Lago, shortly after she went viral with her sharp interrogation of college presidents about campus antisemitism.

Trump seemed to approve of the suggestion and nodded, according to the media outlet, and added, "she's a killer."

Stefanik responded to the VP speculation during an interview with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade on January 10.
