Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell and former President Donald Trump haven’t spoken since December 2020. That could change later this week.
McConnell told reporters that he plans to attend a Senate GOP meeting in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that will focus on Trump’s “plans for the summer and to also share our ideas for a strategic governing agenda in 2025,” as meeting organizer and Senate GOP policy chairman John Barrasso put it in an email to his colleagues. Every Senate Republican was invited to attend the meeting, which will take place at 12:30 p.m. Thursday at the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s headquarters on Capitol Hill.
A Trump campaign official confirmed to NBC News that the Senate meeting will focus on his governing vision, and will “[look] ahead at the policies that will save the nation, such as Trump’s commitment to no impact on seniors with any cuts to Social Security or Medicare, policies that actually secure our borders and make our communities safe again, and an America first foreign policy that reclaims peace through strength and world leadership and economic policies of lower taxes that reignite the vibrant [T]rump economy we had just a few years ago.”
Trump will also meet with House Republicans on Thursday morning at the Capitol Hill Club, NBC News reported.
