The prominent GOP congresswoman will make the highly-anticipated announcement either in a video or in Albany, sources said.

“We have crisscrossed the state. The overwhelming outpouring of support from Republicans , independents, and Democrats is that we need a new governor to save our state who’s focused on making New York affordable,” Stefanik told The Post.

It comes as Democrat Hochul is in Puerto Rico for the annual SOMOS political retreat.
