Former President Donald Trump declared that he is “1000 percent” behind the senators he had a meeting with at the National Republican Senatorial Committee on Thursday and that they are with him “1,000 percent.”
“This is an outstanding group of people. I’m with them 1,000 percent; they’re with me 1,000 percent. We agree just about on everything, and if there isn’t, we work it out,” he said. Trump also told the GOP senators, “You’re all either elected, or you’re going to be elected again and reelected,” and he forecasted “great success.”
Currently, Democrats and the independents who caucus with them hold a one-seat majority over Republicans at 51-49. Hypothetically, if Trump wins the White House, the GOP would need a net gain of one seat to take control of the chamber, which would give a Republican vice president the tie-breaking vote.
