President-elect Donald Trump made a significant return to Capitol Hill on Wednesday, meeting privately with Republican senators. Their agenda was to devise a strategy for advancing Trump's legislative priorities as he prepares to assume office once more.

His visit, the first since his exit following the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021, aims to unite GOP efforts across both congressional chambers.

The Republican leadership weighs conflicting strategies regarding whether Trump's priorities should be tackled as one comprehensive bill or split into two. Key issues include tax cuts, immigration policies, and boosting energy production.
