Former President Donald Trump received a quasi-incumbent welcome among Republicans in the United States Senate on Thursday in his first visit to the Capitol since before the January 6, 2021, attack.
Less than five months before his rematch with Democrat Joe Biden, current occupant of the Oval Office, Trump met with the Republicans of the House of Representatives behind closed doors, a few blocks from the Capitol and then with the members of his party in the High camera.
He stated that his meeting with the Senate was “excellent” and that the Republican Party (GOP) has “tremendous unity” and “common sense.” Furthermore, he commented that in the House of Representatives he perceived the same thing.

“We have one thing in mind and that is to make our country great,” the former president stressed after the meetings.

Despite his legal situation and all the charges against him, including his role in the attack on the Capitol three and a half years ago, the former president increased his control over the GOP and has guaranteed his nomination for the presidential election since March.
