House Republicans Meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago

President-elect Donald Trump is hosting multiple groups of House Republicans at Mar-a-Lago to discuss his ambitious legislative agenda ahead of his inauguration. Among the attendees will be New York Congress members, including Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, who aim to advocate for an increase in the SALT (State and Local Tax) deduction cap, a contentious issue since the 2017 tax law's implementation. Trump's gatherings will also include the Freedom Caucus and various GOP committee chairs, signaling an effort to unify the party as they prepare for significant budget reconciliation efforts in the spring. Additionally, Trump is expected to hold a news conference soon, amidst ongoing legal challenges, including his scheduled sentencing related to a felony conviction. Utah Governor Spencer Cox, who previously criticized Trump, is also attending the meetings, indicating a shift in his stance following recent events. The upcoming discussions are critical as Republicans navigate their narrow majority in Congress and seek to advance key legislation.
