Election 2024 live updates: Trump and Biden meet at White House; Senate Republicans choose new majority leader
During his first meeting of the day, Trump addressed the House GOP conference and touted his accomplishments for the election, calling it a “very nice gathering.”
Members started clapping and cheering and all of them stood up after Trump walked in. Then House Speaker Mike Johnson played his entrance music. Elon Musk came in after Trump took the stage, walked across the buffer and then was escorted to a seat in the front row.
“Isn’t it nice to win? It’s nice to win. It’s always nice to win. A lot of good friends in this room,” he said.
As the press was being led out, Trump joked, “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, “He’s so good, we’ve got to figure something else.”
This comment was met with some chuckles throughout the room and he noted, of the press, “The people leaving now in the back will write that I said that.”
Johnson introduced Trump. Reps. Elise Stefanik (who has been chosen by Trump to be U.S. ambassador to the U.N.), Steve Scalise, Tom Emmer and Richard Hudson were also on stage.
