Trump to meet face-to-face with this top Republican leader for first time in nearly four years
Trump is returning the nation's capital on Thursday to meet with congressional Republicans
 By Paul Steinhauser , Julia Johnson , Tyler Olson Fox News
Published June 12, 2024 5:35pm EDT

Longtime Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell says he'll be in attendance on Thursday as Senate Republicans meet in the nation's capital with former President Donald Trump.

It will be the first time Trump and McConnell will have seen each other in person in nearly four years.

Trump, the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee, is holding behind closed doors meetings Thursday morning with House Republicans and Thursday afternoon with Senate Republicans.

And McConnell reiterated to reporters on Wednesday that "I'll be at the meeting tomorrow."

McConnell and Trump haven't talked since December 2020, as their working relationship turned frosty following President Biden's election victory over then-President Trump.

McConnell formally recognized Biden's presidential election victory after the former vice president was confirmed the winner by the Electoral College on Dec. 15, 2020.

A few weeks later, McConnell said Trump was "morally responsible" for the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters who aimed to upend congressional certification of Biden's White House win.

Johnson, Trump, GOP plot ambitious agenda hinged on total control of government

 Johnson, Trump, GOP plot ambitious agenda hinged on total control of government
by Alexander Bolton - 06/12/24 5:51 PM ET


Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) met with Senate Republicans on Wednesday to begin setting an ambitious agenda for Washington if former President Trump is reelected and Republicans win back control of the Senate and keep their House majority.

GOP lawmakers are growing increasingly confident about their prospects in the November election given President Biden’s low approval numbers and want to have a bold agenda ready to go in January.

Feeling the Senate majority is within their reach, Senate Republicans are discussing what proposals to include in a special budget reconciliation package — or multiple packages — to get around the filibuster, which requires most legislation to pass the upper chamber with 60 votes.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who is running to become the next Senate GOP leader, said Johnson told senators he wants “to be prepared to hit the ground running” if Republicans control the White House and Congress next year. 

“He’s pretty clear that they want to try to go big, and that means more than just extending the tax cuts,” Cornyn said.

Johnson pitched GOP senators on tax cuts, spending cuts and regulatory reforms during a lunchtime meeting in the Lyndon Baines Johnson Room just off the Senate floor.

“It’s six months out, we’ve got to prepare,” Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said of the desire among GOP lawmakers to put together an agenda in case they control the White House and both chambers of Congress in January.

Good -- they're useless anyways.  As for meeting with McConnell, why?  I thought he was stepping down anyways and he's also useless.  Has Trump not learned anything???

Some Republicans will skip Trump’s visit to Capitol
By

.

There will be notable absences on Thursday when presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump meets with Senate Republicans in Washington, D.C., for the first time since leaving the White House.

Some centrist Republican senators who oppose the former president told the Washington Examiner they plan to skip the meeting due to unspecified scheduling conflicts, much to the chagrin of GOP leaders who are billing the event as a chance to build party unity heading into the election.

Notably, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will attend despite his frosty relationship with the former president and no contact between the two since before the 2021 Capitol riot.

“I said three years ago, right after the Capitol was attacked, that I would support our nominee, regardless of who it was, including him,” McConnell told reporters Wednesday. “I’ve said earlier this year I support him. He’s earned the nomination by the voters all across the country, and of course, I’ll be at the meeting tomorrow.”

McConnell endorsed Trump in March, a stunning reversal from previously blaming him for “disgraceful” acts on Jan. 6, 2021, and after Trump’s attacks against the senator’s wife, former Trump Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, that have been panned as racist.

Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) told the Washington Examiner they won’t attend because of busy schedules. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he won’t either because he has a flight to catch.

McConnell isn't letting his personal feelings override what he sees as best for the country.

But I suspect he's going to be a long way from being buddies with Trump.  Nor should he.

@mtgreenee

President Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, and everyone outside of Washington, DC knows it, but that hasn’t always been the case inside this city.

Today, that all changed. President Trump received standing ovation after standing ovation.

President Trump told us he’s willing to work hard to make sure everyone gets re-elected because he’s committed to not just winning the White House, but the Senate and the House as well.

He was candid, funny, direct, and called many of us out by name. He didn’t even use teleprompters or notecards. He’s as real and genuine as they get.

TRUMP: “There’s tremendous unity in the Republican Party. We want to see borders. We want to see a strong military. We want to see money not wasted all over the world. We don’t want to see Russian ships off of the coast of Florida..”

Trump is correct in what he is saying it's getting re-elected and actually accomplishing his agenda that is difficult.

Maybe it will be a little easier this time if he doesn't have to fight so many members of his own party.

Being a bit puzzled...how does he go about canning the entire '7th floors' of the FBI, CIA and NSA??

How does he take Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett into custody?

Because it HAS to be done to stop the bullshit.

Once Barry is behind bars, the rest will trip over themselves running for the door.

Is funding his only weapon here?

Well, since you're not going to vote for Trump under any circumstance, what the heck do you care?
