Senate Republicans are expected to meet with incoming President Donald Trump on Wednesday, according to two people familiar with the plans who were granted anonymity to discuss private matters.
Republicans are expected to use the meeting to talk with Trump about the party’s reconciliation strategy, as they look for clarity about whether he wants to fold a massive energy, tax and border package into one bill or split it into two. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) is expected to host the meeting, according to one of the people familiar.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told reporters earlier Monday that Senate Republicans would soon be meeting with Trump “and talk about what he’d like to have done.”
“We’re all heading in exactly the same direction where we want to get to,” Barrasso told reporters, though he declined to discuss any details of the planned meeting.
