Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Pa., is part of a small contingent of congressional Republicans who openly support Trump.
Trump’s team plans the first of multiple sessions with congressional backers on Capitol Hill next week. Barletta thinks some of his colleagues are making a mistake by not supporting Trump.
“They should be looking at why he’s so popular,” he said. “The fact that the party isn’t getting behind him worries me. We could have a divided party.”
Barletta said his “Facebook now is blowing up” in favor of his decision to get behind Trump.
“He’s someone from the outside (who) scares people in Washington,” he said.
Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-Tenn., echoed Barletta, saying congressional Republicans “need to get used to the idea” of Trump leading the party in November.
GOP Reps. Chris Collins, N.Y., and Duncan Hunter Jr., Calif., were the first two House members to publicly get behind Trump. They’re heading outreach efforts to court fellow congressional Republicans.
Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C. is the only female lawmaker behind Trump. That surprises many, considering Trump’s comments about women.
“I know he’s made some off-the-cuff-comments. I certainly don’t condone them,” Ellmers said. “As a Republican, we need to concentrate on things we agree with. We need to come together in a unified party.”
