                    Donald Trump Capitol Hill Visit

  Mr. President, finally, on the Trump visit, later this afternoon, 
Senate Republicans will welcome former President Donald Trump to 
Capitol Hill for a meeting about some of the top priorities of the 
Republican agenda moving

forward. One of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle predicted 
the meeting would be ``an expression of unity.'' ``[A]n expression of 
unity''? I will be honest. It is getting harder and harder to 
differentiate between the Republicans' agenda and the extreme, hard-
right MAGA agenda. In many ways, they seem to be one and the same 
nowadays.
  The topics up for discussion between Senate Republicans and Donald 
Trump today read like Republicans' greatest hits: taxes, Social 
Security, Medicare, and more. But when you take a closer look under the 
hood, it is not difficult to see that these are issues where 
Republicans are way out of touch with the American people.
  Cutting taxes on the very wealthy and on corporations that don't pay 
their fair share? That is what they want to do. Social Security and 
Medicare--when 180 House Members are part of the group that said we 
should cut them, and Rick Scott--running for leader--from Florida says 
we should cut Medicare and Social Security? Give us a break. If that is 
unity, the American people sure as heck don't want it.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
