He stated that there is a strong alignment between the Republican leadership and Trump following a meeting at the White House.
During the interview, Scalise expressed optimism about working as a cohesive government: “Yeah, absolutely. And in fact, you can see President Trump's focus is so much sharper. He really recognizes...we have unified government. We have an opportunity that you don't get often." He emphasized shared goals such as lowering energy costs and controlling regulations.
