Top Republicans and Trump Allies Converge on D.C. to Strategize First 100 Days Agenda
A coalition of prominent Republican lawmakers, influential figures from the "MAGA world," and key allies of former President Donald Trump are gathering in Washington D.C. next week to strategize and outline a plan for achieving significant accomplishments during what they hope will be his first 100 days back in office. The event, hosted by Rescuing the American Dream (RAD), an organization with close ties to Trump allies, aims to galvanize support and coordinate efforts to advance a conservative agenda in the event of a Trump victory in the upcoming presidential election.
The gathering, titled "The First 100 Days: How Conservatives Can Help President Trump Accomplish His Agenda," will feature a roster of high-profile speakers and participants, including Republican Senators Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee. These senators, known for their conservative stances and alignment with Trump’s policies, will contribute their insights and expertise to the discussions.
In addition to the senators, the event will also feature Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and businessman Kevin O’Leary, renowned for his role on the television show "Shark Tank." Ramaswamy, a vocal advocate for conservative principles, brings a fresh perspective and a focus on economic and cultural issues. O’Leary’s presence adds a business-oriented dimension to the discussions, potentially focusing on strategies to stimulate economic growth and job creation.
RAD spokesperson Chris Hartline emphasized the organization’s enthusiasm for hosting the event, stating, "Rescuing the American Dream is looking forward to hosting this event next week to highlight the accomplishments of the Trump Administration and Republicans in Washington and plan for more successes to come. We’re looking forward to hearing from leaders from across Washington and the conservative movement for in-depth and insightful conversations."
The two-day event, scheduled for March 5 and 6, will provide a platform for attendees to engage in discussions on how they can effectively collaborate with a potential Trump administration to achieve significant policy victories within the first 100 days. This period is considered crucial for setting the tone and momentum for a new presidential term.
Sources indicate that the event will specifically address strategies for assisting Trump in navigating the crucial budget reconciliation process on Capitol Hill. Budget reconciliation is a legislative tool that allows certain budget-related measures to be passed with a simple majority in the Senate, bypassing the need for 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. This process is often used to enact significant tax cuts or spending reforms.
Furthermore, the gathering will explore ways to bolster American business and manufacturing, potentially through deregulation, tax incentives, or trade policies. The discussions will also address the issue of "lawfare," a term used by some conservatives to describe what they see as politically motivated legal actions against Trump and his allies. The event will likely explore strategies for curbing what they perceive as abuses of the legal system, both within and outside the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The list of speakers includes familiar faces from Trump’s inner circle, such as Alex Bruesewitz, a campaign advisor to the former president and CEO of X Strategies LLC. Alex Latcham, Executive Director of the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), will also be present, providing insights into the political landscape and strategies for Republican success in the Senate.
Other notable speakers include Tiffany Smiley, Founder of Endeavor Pac and Political Commentator, Founder and CEO of American Majority Ned Ryun and Sentinel Action Fund President and Founder Jessica Anderson. These individuals bring diverse perspectives and expertise in areas such as grassroots activism, political communication, and conservative policy advocacy.
The timing of the event is significant, as Trump is rapidly approaching key milestones in his potential second administration. He will mark 50 days in office on March 11, followed by 100 days on April 30. With the possibility of Republican control of both houses of Congress, Trump would potentially have greater latitude to implement his policies and achieve his agenda.
The event underscores the determination of Trump’s allies to capitalize on any opportunity to advance their conservative goals. They aim to hit the ground running and secure swift victories for Trump, should he return to the White House.
The gathering also highlights the ongoing divisions within American politics. While Trump’s supporters are rallying to advance their agenda, Democrats and other opponents are preparing to resist his policies and challenge his actions. The coming months are likely to witness intense political battles as the two sides vie for control of the nation’s direction.
The focus on the "first 100 days" is a deliberate effort to replicate the sense of urgency and accomplishment that characterized the early months of Trump’s first term. His supporters believe that a strong start is essential for building momentum and achieving lasting change.
