In a show of Republican unity, Donald Trump met with House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Thursday, as the president-elect works to move past what had been a chilly, distant relationship with Republican leaders during the campaign.
"I think we’re going to do some absolutely spectacular things for the American people," Trump said, sitting next to Ryan at a conference table in the Capitol. "We can’t get started fast enough." After meeting with McConnell, Trump said his top priorities were immigration and border security, addressing health care and "big-league jobs."
