‘It’s Always Nice To Win’: Trump Meets With House Republicans

President-elect Donald Trump met with House Republicans Wednesday morning, the first stop on his post-election tour of Washington, D.C.

Trump struck a triumphant tone from the outset, touting his and Republicans’ recent electoral victories.

“It’s always nice to win,” Trump began, before celebrating the “historic kind of numbers” he and House Republicans put up on Election Day.

“The House did very well,” Trump said. “We could have lost by quite a bit,” Trump said, before noting that Republicans wound up gaining four or five seats in the House. The president-elect noted that this was a small margin, but that, “when you get used to” controlling the chamber by a single vote, “you can get used to anything.”

Trump also commented on his recent slew of Cabinet appointments, joking about the fact that he has so far tapped two House Republicans — Reps. Elise Stefanik (NY) and Michael Waltz (FL) as United Nations Ambassador and national security adviser, respectively.

Addressing concerns that he is chipping away at an already-slim majority, Trump joked that he wanted at least 15 House Republicans in his administration, and that he might come back for more later, The Hill reported.

Trump also threw his support behind House Speaker Mike Johnson, calling him a “tremendous guy” and saying that he was with him “all the way.” Johnson introduced Trump to the conference, calling him a “singular figure in American history” and the “comeback king.”

Trump is set to meet with President Joe Biden at the White House later today.
