Donald Trump will meet with several Republican leaders on Thursday, aides on Capitol Hill told Politico. The presumptive Republican nominee will be in Washington for a meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan, and while there, will stop in to visit Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his team. The GOP leadership team is made up of Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (Texas), Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Thune (S.D.), Republican Policy Committee Chairman John Barrasso (Wyo.), and Republican Conference Vice Chairman Roy Blunt (Mo.). McConnell has said he will support Trump, but wants to see him work to bring the Republican Party together.
