ABC News(WASHINGTON) — Donald Trump is meeting again with Congressional Republicans to shore up support for his troubled candidacy — his second trip to Capitol Hill in two months.
With less than two weeks before the Republican National Convention commences in Cleveland, Trump is looking to get the GOP’s rank-and-file behind him even as he faces backlash from members of his party. Some Republicans who are facing a tough re-election battle have chosen to skip the convention while others have snubbed invitations to meet with the New York businessman.
Trump’s social media director tweeted out a photo from inside the room with House Republicans earlier Thursday morning.
