PHILADELPHIA -- Just hours ahead of their meeting with President
Donald Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan insisted that the new president
and his Republican conference are "on the same page" on policy and
priorities.
"We are on the same page with the administration
and we actually worked with the administration on the timetable and
legislative agenda we have with 2017," Ryan told reporters here at the
annual Republican retreat.
Ryan's assurance of unity comes as Republicans
gather for their annual retreat, focused on legislation and hearing more
details about how to move their aggressive agenda of repealing and
replacing the Affordable Care Act passing and tax reform. But Trump has
caught Republican members of Congress off-guard in some instances,
forcing them to react to Trump's new executive orders or obsessions over
his popularity, including inaugural crowd size and the debunked claim
that three to five million people voted illegally in last fall's
election.
