(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais) News broke yesterday that President Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy met to discuss the 2022 election cycle. This news is excellent and encouraging. As I have said before, Trump has an uncanny ability to speak directly to working and middle-class Americans. The GOP is beginning to get it, but still has much to learn. Following the meeting, McCarthy released a statement that indicates he now understands what the Trump presidency was all about ( emphasis mine): House Republicans and the Trump administration achieved historic results for all Americans. We were able to do this because we listened to and understood the concerns of our fellow citizens that had long been ignored. As a result, House Republicans defied the experts and the media by expanding our growing coalition across the country.
