Donald Trump didn’t delve too deeply into policy specifics during his Thursday meeting with House Republicans.

“I didn’t hear any agenda talk,” said Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.), describing the private club confab as “a pep talk.”

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) agreed: “He talked about politics. … It was about winning.”

Even so, the former president did get into abortion, according to a person in the room who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about it. He urged fellow Republicans to hit Democrats as too radical on the issue, which he acknowledged hurt GOP candidates in 2022 after conservative Supreme Court justices ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Trump’s recommendation to his party: Talk about abortion access as a state issue, not a federal one, now that Roe‘s reversal ended the national right to abortion — and try to turn it into a positive for the GOP.

And according to Carter, Trump did touch on taxes — specifically, support for a change to how tipped workers’ wages are taxed.
