Trump to Meet With House GOP Leaders Ahead of Budget Vote

There are already more than enough House Republicans publicly opposed to the Senate’s latest budget to sink the resolution. House GOP leaders are hoping Trump can flip the votes.

As House Republicans try to pressure lawmakers to adopt the Senate’s amended budget, President Donald Trump is expected to huddle with House Republican leaders on Tuesday ahead of a fundraiser for the House GOP’s campaign arm, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The National Republican Congressional Committee is holding its annual fundraiser Tuesday night at the National Building Museum, with Trump serving as the guest of honor. (A source told NOTUS that the fundraiser is expected to bring in eight figures.)

But the meeting will likely be centered on Trump trying to get House Republicans in line on the Senate’s latest budget resolution.
