President Donald Trump is putting the pedal to the metal this weekend, optimistically looking to parlay a string of recent successes into another legislative victory Saturday afternoon. 

Trump had planned to depart the White House Friday for his private club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he frequently spends summer weekends golfing and attending fundraisers. However, the president shifted gears Thursday, opting instead to stay in Washington, D.C., and use his bully pulpit to ensure the Senate passes his tax and spending reconciliation bill, according to senior White House advisers.
