President Donald Trump boasted about the Republican Party's unity in a Thursday morning tweet, echoing what he's said in recent days.
Trump sat down with Lou Dobbs of Fox Business Network this week and said, "We have actually in the Republican Party, in a true sense, we have great unity . . . I was with the Senate [Tuesday], the entire Republican Senate, and other than two people … there was a lot of love in that room."
Trump's mention of "two people" was likely in reference of Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who are feuding with Trump. Both have said they will not run for reelection in 2018.
The GOP-controlled Congress is hoping to pass tax reform before the end of the year, and it will need unity to get the necessary votes.
