Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who President-elect Trump threatened to primary last month, joined the House Freedom Caucus meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday.
Rep. Eli Craine (R-Ariz.) shared a photograph of members inside Mar-a-Lago, and the group included Roy, as well as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), and over a dozen other members.
“Great night at Mar-a-Lago with the House Freedom Caucus. We joined President Trump and Elon Musk for dinner to talk about the path forward,” Crane said.
Trump encouraged Texas Republicans to consider challenging Roy in the primary because he said the Congress got in the way of a push to raise the debt ceiling as part of government funding talks in December. Trump called him “very unpopular” and accused him of wanting “cheap publicity.”
Ahead of Friday’s Mar-a-Lago meeting, members told The Hill that they were going to make the case to Trump for their preferred policies and strategy. They planned to ask Trump how they can help achieve his legislation goals while also not spending too much.
The meeting comes as Republicans are trying to figure out how to pass Trump’s agenda on the border, energy, tax cuts and other issues, and whether that would require two bills or one.
The Freedom caucus has endorsed a two-bill strategy while Trump has said his preference is “one big, beautiful bill."
During the meeting on Friday, members doubled down on the need for two bills, to Punchbowl reported.
The Trump transition did not respond to The Hill about what was discussed in the meeting.
