Still reeling from a string of chaotic losses on the House floor, Republicans hope Speaker Mike Johnson’s planned meeting with Donald Trump will help prevent any unnecessary turmoil for the conference down the line.
“Things are so dynamic in the House, it’s hard to be in lockstep, and things are changing by the moment here, so it’s a little easier for the [former] president to be in a policy position, but sometimes what he’s talking about is not what we’re doing in the House,” said Republican Study Committee Chair Kevin Hern.
“I support the speaker sitting down with the president, saying, ‘This is our agenda, what are your positions on those so that we know,’” he said.
