Trump to meet with bipartisan group of House moderates Wednesday

President Trump has invited a bipartisan group of moderate House members to the White House on Wednesday to discuss a host of issues, including tax reform, infrastructure and health care, according to a congressional source familiar with the meeting.

The meeting may also include a discussion of the path forward for "DREAMers," undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, the source said, asking for anonymity to discuss a meeting that had not been publicly announced. Trump last week canceled former president Obama's policy of protecting DREAMers from deportation and set a six-month deadline for Congress to pass legislation to preserve their legal status.

As of Tuesday morning, four Republican and eight Democratic House members were confirmed for the meeting, including members of the bipartisan “Problem Solvers” caucus and the centrist Democrat Blue Dog Coalition, according to another congressional source familiar with the meeting.

The meeting appears to be another indication of Trump’s recent willingness to involve Democrats in deal-making. Last week, Trump shocked his own party by siding with Democrats on a short-term plan to increase the nation’s debt limit and fund the federal government for the next three months along with providing aid for hurricane victims. The president signed the package late Friday afternoon.

Most of the members invited to attend the meeting belong to the “Problem Solvers” caucus, led by Reps. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., and Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J. The group of more than 40 members, nearly evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, released bipartisan health care principles to help address uncertainty in the individual market that’s causing insurers to hike rates and leave Obamacare’s insurance exchanges.

In May, the Problem Solvers announced they would back a pairing of tax reform and infrastructure investment. Blue Dog Democrats, meanwhile, have been working on tax reform principles and met with administration officials in June.
