Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik walked back GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s Friday gaffe confusing presidential rival Nikki Haley with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Saturday.
Stefanik said Trump’s saying Haley’s name instead of Pelosi’s “wasn’t a mix-up,” refuting speculations that Trump had “lost a step” during an interview with NBC News.
“The reality is Nikki Haley is relying on Democrats, just like Nancy Pelosi, to try to have a desperate showing,” Stefanik said.
“President Trump has not lost a step,” Stefanik insisted. “He is a stronger candidate.”
