Senate and House Republicans wanted to use Wednesday to celebrate President-elect Donald Trump’s return to power. He visited House Republicans, which in many ways is his base of support in Washington.
By the same token, he visited the White House to meet with President Joe Biden. Meanwhile, even though MAGA allies didn’t get their choice of Senate majority leader in Rick Scott, newly-minted Republican leader John Thune will almost never deviate from Trump and will be a much better ally than Mitch McConnell.
