There will be notable absences Thursday when the former president meets with Senate Republicans in Washington for the first time since leaving the White House.
Notably, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will attend despite his frosty relationship with the former president and no contact between the two since before the 2021 Capitol riot.
“I’ve got a conflict,” Murkowski said. “We just got the invite . I’ve got a pretty crazy week. I’ve just got a lot going on.”“I think he’s going to be the next president,” Cassidy said. “You got to work with the next president.” Approached off the Senate floor by reporters, an aide accompanying Sen. Todd Young , the former chairman of Senate Republicans’ campaign arm under Trump, said the senator would not be answering any questions related to the former president.The invite to Trump was extended by Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso to discuss the GOP’s 2025 agenda.
“He’s our nominee,” Sen. Rick Scott , one of three Republicans vying to be McConnell’s successor as the next GOP leader, said. “We got to win the White House. We got to win the Senate. We got to win the House.”
