Most of the Senate Republican conference will dine with President Donald Trump<\/a> at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Friday evening as the lawmakers prepare for a weekend campaign retreat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The dinner between Trump and the GOP senators<\/a> was confirmed by several sources to Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also in Florida, many of the senators will be attending the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) retreat afterward. The committee is preparing for the 2026 midterm election cycle<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While most of the GOP conference will be at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago dinner, not all of the senators are going.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., will instead be at dinner with his daughter, who lives in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cassidy has had a fractured relationship with Trump in the past, as one of the handful of Republican senators who voted to convict him for allegedly inciting the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Louisiana Republican is notably up for re-election in 2026 and will be at the NRSC retreat for the remainder of the weekend. While Cassidy’s state isn’t likely to pick a Democrat, he faces threats of primary challenges from the right.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The office of moderate Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, whose race will be one of the NRSC’s most competitive this cycle, did not provide comment to Fox News Digital when asked whether she would be at the Mar-a-Lago dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Republicans will be put on defense in 2026 in key states North Carolina and Maine, protecting the seats of Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Collins, respectively. At the same time, the party is looking to expand its majority in the Senate, eyeing vulnerable Democrat-held seats in Georgia and Michigan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., is seeking re-election in swing state Georgia for the first time. Michigan is already a swing state, and with Democratic Sen. Gary Peters’ announcement that he isn’t running again, the party is losing an incumbent advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
