Trump Warns House Conservatives: ‘Get on the Team’
WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump issued a remarkable warning to conservative Republican lawmakers in Congress, suggesting Thursday he would work against them in the midterm elections next year if they don’t support his agenda.
.. Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), a co-founder of the group, dismissed the president’s threat.
”We’re trying to help the president, but the fact is you’ve got to look at the legislation,” Mr. Jordan said on Fox News. “And it doesn’t do what we told the voters we were going to do and the American people understand that.”
.. Mr. Ryan issued his own warning of sorts Thursday, saying that the president was likely to shift to the left if Republicans can’t come together.
