Representative Lauren Underwood says she’s got the skills to win political debates and immunity idols … telling us Wednesday she’d kill it on the show “Survivor.”

The Democratic Congresswoman from Illinois says that she absolutely loves the long-running reality competition show … and with trust, alliances, and doing whatever it takes to win — she says that’s a lot like Congress.

Watch the clip … Underwood lays out all the reasons — including her background as a nurse and her time in the Girl Scouts — she thinks she’d crush it on “Survivor.”

Worth noting … we talked to Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride recently — and she says GOP lawmakers are better suited for the show “The Traitors.”
