President Donald Trump on Wednesday acknowledged that GOP lawmakers have a very full plate of ambitious agenda items that they may not be able to deliver on.
The president met with congressional leaders House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in the Oval Office on Wednesday morning. Vice President Mike Pence, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin were also present.
We have many, many things that are on the plate, Trump told reporters. Hopefully we can solve them in a rational way, and maybe we wont be able to. Well probably know pretty much at the end of this meeting or the meetings that well be having over a short period of time.
Congress faces a series of deadlines this fall: to repeal and replace Obamacare by a simple majority, pass a spending bill, reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration and raise the debt ceiling, to name a few.
