During a dinner held at the White House Rose Garden, former President Trump addressed Republican lawmakers, encouraging those involved in closely contested midterm races to center their campaigns on his record. Trump argued that the administration has a strong list of accomplishments that should resonate with voters as the election approaches.

In addition to providing strategic advice, Trump pledged to join these candidates on the campaign trail to bolster their efforts. The meeting served as a platform for the president to rally support for his party's legislative agenda and to frame the upcoming midterms as a referendum on his performance in office.
