Former President Trump traveled to Washington on Thursday to meet with members of the House and Senate, emphasizing unity among Republican lawmakers as the November election approaches.
After private meetings with legislators, Trump addressed the press, noting widespread agreement within the GOP on key issues. He expressed confidence in resolving any disagreements with lawmakers he has previously clashed with.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, known for his strained relationship with Trump, described the meeting as “positive” and marked a significant thaw since their fallout following the 2020 election.
This visit was Trump’s first with lawmakers since his recent conviction on 34 felony counts in his Manhattan hush money trial. It coincides with Republicans in both chambers strategizing for a potentially significant legislative agenda in the event of Trump’s reelection and Republican control of Congress.
