Trump, McConnell set for tricky GOP unity moment

Former President Trump is headed to Capitol Hill to strike a unified tone ahead of November with congressional Republicans — including a number of senators he doesn’t always see eye to eye with.

At the top of the list is Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who Trump has repeatedly feuded with since leaving office. The two are set to be in the same room together for the first time since 2020 and their infamous fallout, which has been semirepaired in recent months as the GOP leader officially endorsed Trump’s campaign.

Now, it’s all about unity, and that starts at the top with those two.

“I imagine it’ll be a big bear hug,” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) quipped about them. “They’re both adults. I imagine they’ll be cordial and listen attentively … They’ve both been leaders.”
