GOP members indicated that, while they may support certain gun violence prevention measures, they're unwilling to take action without support from Trump because efforts would be futile to only be defeated by a presidential veto.
Senate Republicans remain in a state of limbo on gun control as they await President Donald Trump to take a definitive stance on which — if any — gun control measures he supports so the party can move forward in considering legislation aimed to curb future gun violence.
"I agree with [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell. I think it's very important that we know where the president is at," Sen. Lindsey Graham told."You got senators, like myself, and others reaching out to Democratic colleagues to find common ground on protective orders and background checks. They're working with the White House, and we gotta hear from the president and his team that they're in the game because if they're not in the game, it won't work.
Following a weekly luncheon with party members that was attended by White House Legislative Affairs Director Eric Ueland, McConnell reiterated to reporters he was still awaiting word from the White House about what Trump is willing to support.
