This is 40 minutes. Pres. Trump we just spent quite of time inside with the Senate Majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell, who has been a friend of mine for a long time, long politics. World of early into his world of politics, i think, but weve time. Riends for a long we are probably now despite what think, probably now i at least as far as im concerned, closer than ever before and the relationship is good. Were fighting for the same thing, were fighting for lower taxes, big tax cuts, biggest tax cuts in the history of our ation, were fighting for tax reform as part of that.

Those comments the goal here is to win elections in november. Back in 2010 and 2012 we nominated several candidates, christine odonnell, sharon engle, todd aiken, richard murdoch, theyre not in the senate, and the reason for that was they were not able to appeal to a broader electorate in the general election. My goal as leader of the Republican Party in the senate to keep news the majority. The way you do that is not complicated. You have to nominate people who can actually win because winners make policy and losers go home of we changed the Business Model in 2014. We nominated people who could win everywhere. We took majority in the senate. We had one skirmish in 2016. We kept the majority in the senate. So our operating approach will be, to support our incumbents, and in open seats, to seek to help nominate people who can actually win in november. That is my approach. That is the way, that is the way you keep a governing majority. [shouting questions] reporter mr. President , earlie

With a storm system making its advance, basically, stuck to more clouds than anything. So, it is another warm a
