House Speaker Mike Johnson met with former President Donald Trump and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson this week to discuss growing the currently slim Republican majority in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust had a great meeting with President Trump this President\u2019s Day. Together, we will grow the majority and save America!\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson spokesman Greg Steele released a statement saying, \u201cSpeaker Johnson met with President Trump in Florida on Monday to discuss growing the majority and securing Republican victories up and down the ballot in November.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSpecifics of the discussion were not revealed, and it\u2019s unclear what the Republican plan is to make gains. The NRCC hit record-high fundraising in 2023, raising over $91 million going into a presidential election year, which may be impacted by Trump\u2019s likely ascension to the status of Republican nominee when the majority is decided by a handful of swing districts,\u201d the Washington Examiner noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Republican National Committee saw a relatively poor fundraising year in 2023, with $87.2 million raised, $93.5 million spent, $1.8 million in debts, and just $8 million in cash on hand. Trump faces his own money matters, as he owes significant court-ordered fines and is slapped with growing legal bills. In addition to the more than $55 million spent on legal fees by the former president in 2023, he\u2019s been ordered to pay $354.9 million and $83 million in separate court cases this month,\u201d the outlet added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closer the country gets to the November elections, the better Trump appears to be doing against President Joe Biden when it comes to a range of key issues facing the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a newly released ABC\/IPSOS poll, respondents were asked to state which candidate \u2014 Trump or Biden \u2014 they believed would better handle a series of key issues in the country, including crime, immigration, the economy, guns, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, it seems that Americans express greater confidence in Trump\u2019s ability to address key current issues compared to Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, 43 percent trust Trump to manage the economy, whereas only 31 percent feel the same about Biden, giving Trump a +12 advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty-one percent indicated they have more faith in Trump\u2019s ability to address the issue of crime in the country, while only 28 percent expressed the same confidence in Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Trump holds a ten-point lead in handling inflation, an 18-point lead in managing immigration, a one-point lead in addressing gun violence, and a three-point lead in dealing with matters concerning Ukraine and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s age has become one of his biggest drawbacks, as poll after poll has shown most Americans, as well as a significant number of Democrats, believe he\u2019s too old to serve a second four-year term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a separate survey<\/a> this week, almost half of voters believe that he won\u2019t ultimately be the party\u2019s nominee and that someone else will take his place before the election.<\/p>\n
