President Obama has asked to meet with the entire House and Senate Republican coalitions next week, CNN reported Wednesday.
On the Senate side, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced that the president will attend the weekly GOP lunch meeting next Tuesday.
“Senate Republicans welcome the President to the Capitol,” McConnell said in a statement. “And I appreciate he took my recommendation to hear from all of my members.”
On the House side, a meeting is being worked out.
Mike Sommers, chief of staff to House Speaker John Boehner, said his office had received Obama’s request to meet with the House GOP conference next week, and was “currently working to schedule that meeting.”
