Trump invites House Republicans to Mar-a-Lago ahead of inauguration

President-elect Donald Trump has invited multiple groups of House Republicans to join him at Mar-a-Lago next weekend, three sources involved in the planning told NBC News.

President-elect Donald Trump has invited multiple groups of House Republicans to join him at Mar-a-Lago next weekend, three sources involved in the planning told NBC News.

Trump’s team worked with Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership team to finalize which members would be invited, the sources said.

Between Jan. 10 and Jan. 12, members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, lawmakers from states affected by the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap, chairs of key committees and other groups of Republicans will visit Trump at his Florida residence, just days ahead of his inauguration to a second term.

The Mar-a-Lago trips come after a tense speaker vote on Friday in which Trump had to personally convince at least two holdouts to support Johnson’s re-election. It also comes as Republicans prepare to take up one massive reconciliation package later this spring that will likely include an extension of Trump’s 2017 tax law.

Trump wants to make sure that Republican lawmakers across the ideological spectrum are unified and on the same page with his ambitious legislative agenda, two of the sources added.
