During an appearance on Thursday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Josh Hawley talked about presumptive GOP presidential nominee former President Donald Trump’s appearance on Capitol Hill and the positive response he got from Republican lawmakers.
“Senator, I know what people are saying, Laura, ‘Don’t get ahead of yourself,’ that we got a long way to go before the election,” host Laura Ingraham said. “But you met with Trump today. Tell us about the change in the air in the Capitol since all those dire predictions of Trump taking down the party, not rejuvenating it.”
“I mean, he returns as the nominee of the party who has dominated, dominated the party’s primaries,” he continued. “He is now dominating the race for president, and we can see why. His policies worked. Joe Biden’s didn’t. And the old Republican establishment, Laura, there’s just not much left of it. Voters hate it. Trump is beating it, and that is good for America.”
“You know, I didn’t see Trump and Romney interact, but I certainly did see Mitch and Trump interact,” Hawley responded. “And listen, I mean, this is a guy, let’s not forget, I mean Senator McConnell has refused to say Trump’s name for years, I mean, won’t speak it even. And there he was sitting at Trump’s right hand today, sitting right there on his right at the table.
