Donald Trump is asking congressional conservatives to go bowling.
The president’s folksy blue-collar turn with members of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus could be the first of several monthly or even weekly such get-togethers.
The idea is a White House charm offensive calculated to win over Republicans who are skeptical of the American Health Care Act, a replacement for Obamacare that has the GOP’s tea party wing complaining.
Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, one of the Freedom Caucus members, told CNN that he’ll be at the bowling outing to hear the White House’s pitch, even if Trump only makes an appearance and doesn’t knock down any pins himself.
Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney will be the main draw. Pizza will reportedly be served.
