NY-GOV: Lawler says he'll meet with Trump soon to talk about potential run for New York governor

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) said on Sunday he plans to speak soon with President Trump to discuss a path forward as he considers whether to launch a bid for governor in New York.

Entering the statewide race would likely pit him against Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who is gearing up to launch her own campaign against New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D).

But, in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday,” the swing-district Republican said he has no interest in a contested primary challenge.

“I’m going to be meeting with the president at some point soon and have a conversation about the path forward,” Lawler said in the interview.
