President-elect Trump will invite a group of Republican governors to dinner at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday night.
The meeting occurs a week and a half before the former and future president is inaugurated on January 20 and assumes the White House.
The meeting gives Trump the opportunity to speak with the republican governors who will likely play an integral role in implementing Trump’s agenda in his second administration, including his push for the mass deportation of immigrants with criminal records.
Among those attending the dinner are governors Ron DeSantis from Florida, Glenn Youngkin of Virginia and Kim Reynolds of Iowa, Fox News confirmed.

DeSantis, a longtime Trump ally who clashed with the former president in 2023 and early last year during a contentious race for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, somewhat improved relations with the former president after the primary season.
DeSantis endorsed Trump and helped raise money for the Republican candidate’s general election campaign.

Reynolds, the two-term conservative governor, incurred Trump’s ire during the presidential primaries by endorsing DeSantis and acting as his primary surrogate during the Iowa caucuses.
“Excited to meet President @realDonaldTrump tonight at Mar-a-Lago,” Reynolds wrote in a post on social media. “I am ready to help implement your agenda to make America safe, prosperous and great again!”

Youngkin, who mulled his own run for the White House in 2024 before deciding against it, teamed up with Trump a couple of times during the general election campaign.
Politico was the first to report on Trump’s dinner with the governors.
