Washington, D.C. (VINnews)-Senior White House officials, including Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, are convening a high-level meeting near Capitol Hill to refine President Donald Trump’s messaging strategy. The session focuses on highlighting the administration’s accomplishments and bolstering Republican prospects in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy reported the development live, citing a text message from a senior White House official confirming details that had just appeared in Axios coverage. According to Doocy, the gathering includes Wiles, Blair, multiple chiefs of staff from various departments, and several Cabinet-level secretaries. The group is meeting in private to coordinate how best to “sell” Trump’s record to voters.

Doocy highlighted the upcoming State of the Union (SOTU) address as a key opportunity for the president to deliver this message in primetime. “Next week’s SOTU will be a chance to do that in primetime,” he noted, emphasizing the address’s role in showcasing policy wins and setting the tone for the election cycle.

The meeting is taking place at the Capitol Hill Club, a private venue popular among political insiders. Sources familiar with the plans describe it as a closed-door strategy session aimed at aligning the administration’s top figures. Discussions center on messaging, recent polling data, and the electoral landscape, with an emphasis on key battleground states. White House and political aides are presenting information to encourage Cabinet officials to step up as active surrogates in promoting the agenda on the road.

This effort comes as Republicans seek to maintain and expand their congressional majorities in the 2026 midterms. With Trump in his second term, the administration is prioritizing a unified narrative around economic gains, border security, regulatory rollbacks, and other signature priorities to counter potential Democratic challenges and maintain momentum.

The involvement of Wiles—who has been credited with bringing discipline and organization to Trump’s operations since the 2024 campaign—underscores the White House’s focus on coordinated communication. Blair, one of her key lieutenants, is also playing a central role in the political planning.

As the midterms approach, such sessions signal an early push to frame the narrative around Trump’s achievements, with the State of the Union serving as a major platform to reach a national audience. Further details on the meeting’s outcomes or specific talking points are not yet public, given its private nature.
