Trump’s Cabinet Huddles on Midterms Messaging

By Leave a Comment

Politico: “Most of President Trump’s Cabinet is currently meeting at the Capitol Hill Club with chief of staff Susie Wiles, deputy chief of staff James Blair and other top Trump political advisers for a closed-door strategy session focused on how to sell Trump’s agenda and sharpen the GOP’s midterm message.”

The gathering — expected to draw Cabinet officials, chiefs of staff and other senior agency officials — is designed to get Trump’s Cabinet on the same page as Republicans begin to take their case on the road.”

“The meeting will center on messaging, polling and the electoral map, with White House and political aides walking through data on key battlegrounds and outlining the need for Cabinet officials to serve as more active surrogates.”
