“President Trump is set on Wednesday to meet with Republican senators on Capitol Hill, after weeks of tumult and tension in the relationship between the president and prominent members of his own party in the Senate,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Trump was invited by Senator Rick Scott, Republican of Florida, to address a weekly lunch gathering he runs that typically draws the more conservative faction of G.O.P. senators. It was a break from norms, since a president would typically be invited by the party’s elected leader to address the entire conference at its regular luncheon on Tuesdays, or a special gathering hosted by the leadership.”
NOTUS: Rick Scott says he doesn’t want to be Senate leader. Republicans don’t believe him.
