Richard Hudson, R-N.C., chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the House GOP\u2019s campaign arm. They were in Florida for the House GOP leadership\u2019s annual retreat.<\/p>\n<p>The NRCC did not respond to a request for the group\u2019s own readout of the meeting. A Trump spokesperson also did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>House Republican leaders have made an unprecedented show of unity around Trump as he seeks the GOP nomination for president. Johnson released a video earlier this month calling on fellow Republicans to coalesce around Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Following victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, the US Virgin Islands, and Nevada, it is time for Republicans to unite behind President Trump, so we can focus on ending the disastrous Biden presidency and growing our majority in Congress,\u2019 he said in the short clip.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I am convinced he\u2019s going to be the next president of the United States, and I am very much looking forward to that happening.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Johnson endorsed Trump for president in November last year, days after he won the speaker\u2019s gavel.
