Senate Republicans are set to gather at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate for a dinner ahead of a weekend campaign retreat. The dinner, confirmed by multiple sources, will be followed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) retreat in Florida, focusing on preparations for the 2026 midterm election cycle.
While most GOP senators will attend the dinner with Trump, Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana will be absent, opting to spend time with his daughter who resides in the area. Cassidy, known for his past clashes with Trump over the Capitol riot conviction vote, is gearing up for re-election in 2026 and will participate in the NRSC retreat over the weekend.
