“Former President Donald Trump is stepping up his association with GOP influencers in key primary states — this time, over steaks and ice cream at his Mar-a-Lago club,” policy reports.
“Trump spent Thursday night wooing more than a dozen Republican Party leaders from Nevada, his first contact with a state expected to be among the first to hold its nominating contest. According to two people present, the former president spent nearly three hours asking party officials questions about Nevada’s political landscape, previewing his weekend speech at the CPAC conference and telling guests that he planned to visit the state in the coming months. ”
