WASHINGTON (AP) — The third-ranking House Republican, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, is endorsing Donald Trump for president in 2024. She becomes the highest-ranking congressional leader to publicly back the former president. Trump is expected to make his own announcement next Tuesday for a potential White House run. But Trump is being widely blamed by other Republicans for failures in the midterm elections. Many Republicans say it’s time for the party to move on from Trump. Stefanik is close to Trump and has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential contender.
