Former President Donald Trump is attempting to increase the odds that Republicans control Congress next year as he eyes a return to the White House, aligning himself with GOP leadership with the endorsements he’s doled out in dozens of primaries.

The approach, which follows GOP leaders blaming a spate of losses in the midterm elections on his endorsements, was underscored by Speaker Mike Johnson‘s (R-LA) visit to Mar-a-Lago on Monday. Trump backed two candidates in the hours after their meeting.
