Nov 12, 2024, 03:22 PM

House Speaker Johnson announced preliminary plans for President-elect Trump to visit Capitol Hill tomorrow. Trump will be in town for an 11 am Oval Office meeting with President Biden. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise expressed concerns about Trump appointing House GOP members to his administration, noting that Trump has already pulled a few talented individuals from the House. Scalise hopes no more members will be appointed until special elections can be held, emphasizing the need for a stable House majority. Johnson does not expect more House members to be tapped for Trump's administration, though discussions on the matter are ongoing. The House GOP is on track to have a razor thin majority next year.
