Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Americans should take heart in the outwardly cordial meeting between President Obama and President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday at the White House.
“He and the president had a fantastic meeting,” Mr. Priebus said Friday on “Fox and Friends.” “They genuinely got along — it was real.”
“I think they had admiration for each other,” he said. “That, the American people should look at as an encouraging sign of leadership that this next president understands that he’s not just the president for the Republican party.”
“He’s the president for every American — Democrat, independent and everyone in between,” he said.
Mr. Priebus has been floated as a possible chief of staff in a Trump administration, but he downplayed such talk.
“Number one, that’s not my job,” he said. “Number two, I don’t have any updates for you on transition. I’m sitting here at the RNC and it’s a great job.”
