President-elect Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Republican governors at Mar-a-Lago, Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025, in Palm Beach, Fla. PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump hosted 22 of the nation’s 27 Republican governors for dinner at his Florida club on Thursday night, looking to help drive the agenda in conservative-run states after he takes office in 11 days.
Most reporters weren’t invited to the proceedings, but cameras were allowed inside for part of the time. That allowed Trump to answer a series of questions from a Fox News Channel journalist. The dinner came after Trump held a lengthy, closed-door meeting Wednesday with Republican Senators on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Trump described his discussions with his senators, as “a love fest” but added, “This is a love fest, too.”Trump also renewed previous vows to cooperate with leaders in blue states, too, saying, “We want to get along with the Democrats. I’m trying to be nice.”
DeSantis blamed the media for what he said was unnecessarily promoting controversy and political division, adding that Trump will collaborate effectively with states regardless of whether they are red or blue. “They don’t want to talk about it,” Trump said, repeating an assertion he’s made in the past that the government may be covering something up on the issue. He promised to shed more light on it after Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.
