A shadow contest of another sort is underway with several Republicans openly jockeying to position themselves as potential running mates to Donald Trump, the early front-runner for the nomination.
The mere mention of a running mate this early in the process is a departure from the traditional timeline of presidential primaries.
Trump campaign officials insist that the vice presidential search is not something they have been actively discussing.
Stefanik is also frequently mentioned as a likely contender, but has taken what allies describe as a more subtle approach.
She endorsed Trump before he even announced he was running, and has become one of his chief defenders on the Hill.
Stefanik said she had not discussed the position with Trump, though she has previously said she would be honored to serve in his administration.
