According to Reuters, the meeting was attended by Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles, political department head James Blair, and chief pollster Tony Fabrizio. However, this was a meeting not disclosed to the public, as even Trump was not informed about it. During the meeting, strategists asked Trump's associates to try building the campaign for the November elections without mentioning the U.S. president. More specifically, at the start of the meeting, strategists warned Trump's associates that the U.S. president is extremely unpopular and that his involvement in the campaign could have a significantly negative impact on the Republican Party's results. They presented figures to Trump's associates, including poll results suggesting that only slightly more than a third of citizens support Trump, as well as results from local elections in certain parts of the U.S. since Trump returned to the White House, which are devastating for the Republican Party. In the end, Trump's associates attempted to reach a compromise by suggesting promoting his policies, specifically tax cuts, without directly mentioning the U.S. president. They also suggested that there is still plenty of time until November and that "everything can change," with a particular emphasis on the war with Iran. They believe the conflict will end, and consequently, fuel prices will drop, which is one of the major reasons for Trump's unpopularity. However, polls show that even a change in strategy is unlikely to save the Republicans. The Democratic Party is expected to take control of the House of Representatives, and there are growing indications that they will also have a majority in the Senate.
