Former President Donald Trump visited Capitol Hill on Thursday to meet with House and Senate Republicans.Former President Donald Trump held two separate meetings Thursday with GOP lawmakers in Washington. Trump used the events, each held blocks from the U.S. Capitol, to push for GOP members to unify behind him ahead of this year's presidential election.
The afternoon session with the Senate was also an opportunity for Trump to address skeptics within the party. In recent months, more Senate Republicans, including those initially resistant to weigh in, have said they’re supporting Trump’s re-election run. Others, like Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., have refused to back him or continue to avoid discussing their support for the former president.
“He did say there’s a few of you in the room that might not be happy with me because I’m supporting your opponent, but I will be doing tele-town halls for many of you, helping you get across the line, doing whatever it takes to win the House and win it big,” she added.“There’s no state he’s not going in,” he said.The former president endorsed GOP Virginia Rep. Bob Good’s primary challenger, John Maguire, ahead of next week’s Republican primary.
Mace, one of Trump’s former enemies, now has his endorsement, and was congratulated on her recent primary win. One House Republican who has not yet endorsed Trump, Rep. Dave Schweikert, R-Ariz., said about the discussion, “I was actually pleased it was mostly on economy, on inflation. He told reporters he planned to endorse Trump after the GOP convention.
