Continuing to court Democrats, Trump will host dinner on tax reform

President Donald Trump will host a dinner on Tuesday with moderate Democrats and Republican senators focused on tax reform as he continues to court Democrats after cutting a debt ceiling deal last week.

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will host the dinner on Tuesday evening, the White House said. Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Donnelly of Indiana have been invited and are expected to attend, aides said. GOP Sens. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and John Thune of South Dakota are among the Republican attendees.

The dinner is expected to center on tax reform, the aides said, now Trump's top priority.

The three moderate Democrats are all up for reelection next year in states Trump won handily in 2016. They have also been closer to the president than other congressional Democrats. Each declined to join a letter with party leaders outlining conditions on tax reform and all three supported Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch earlier this year.
