Although not meeting face to face, of course. We want to give you all a sense of whats happening behind the scenes. Egyptian mediators are talking with each side separately trying to extend the current 72hour ceasefire that has now held for two full days. Of course, that means weve only got one day left. An unnamed israeli official says israel is on board, but palestinian leaders say such talk is premature. Well, u. S.

And this meeting has to happen, from the perspective of paul ryan and donald trump, they have to at least go through the motions of looking like theyre attempting party unity. But i seriously doubt anything is going to change in the trajectory after this meeting. After the meeting, its possible theyll come together and say, okay, now im ready to endorse or it will happen soon after, but i doubt its going to be because of anything said in that room. Whats the ask from trump . Its clear, its basically endorsement. I dont get what the ask is in the other direction. The ask is, get behind me. Not even so much of an ask. Thats my point. Its a demand. The campaign believes he has a mandate, hes got the voters behind him. That he is the voice of the Republican Party and paul ryan isnt.
