The ex-president’s off-campus visits Thursday with congressional Republicans mark his first foray to Capitol Hill since he was in office and since his supporters attacked Congress
'Oh my God,' Sen. Lisa Murkowski said this week before Donald Trump's planned return to Capitol Hill for the first time since Jan. 6, 2021. Sen. Lisa Murkowski got flashbacks upon returning to the Capitol on Tuesday facing an endless stream of questions about one topic.
how much Trump has once again hijacked the events of this week, just like he did every week he was in the Oval Office.“So it’s like, once again, it’s all about Trump all the time,” the 22-year incumbent said Wednesday. Roughly 250 Republicans will attend the two meetings with the ex-president, supporting his attempt to formally return to the Capitol for a Jan. 20,For those supportive Republicans, Trump’s visits are just part of the normal routine. Every four years the party out of power selects a nominee, and then he or she treks to Capitol Hill, hoping to forge unity for the election and plot a policy agenda.
When he huddles with Senate Republicans, Trump will sit just eight-tenths of a mile from the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse, where he will go on trial for his involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 election, depending on the Supreme Court decision.After House Democrats voted to impeach him, a week after the Capitol insurrection, many believed they had dispatched with Trump in the political sense.
Senate Republicans, most of whom hold traditional conservative views, have always had a more distant relationship with the former reality-TV star. But Trump is unlikely to face a hostile audience.Of the four remaining Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump in the 2021 impeachment trial, only Sen. Bill Cassidy is expected to attend the meeting Thursday. And, perhaps thinking ahead to his 2026 election, Cassidy has fallen in line.
