President-elect Donald Trump joined members of the media for an off-the-record conversation on Sunday night at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
Axios’ Mike Allen, well known for being the longtime composer of Politico’s Playbook, tweeted a group photo and called Trump “relaxed and chatty.”
Allen, CNN’s Jeremy Diamond, Bloomberg’s Terrance Dopp, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade and NBC News duo Ali Vitali and Hallie Jackson can be identified in the low-quality photo.
Melania Trump, chief of staff Reince Priebus, top advisers Kellyanne Conway, Stephen Miller and Jason Miller joined Trump for the chat with reporters that lasted roughly 30 minutes, according to the pool report.
Trump and his family are spending the holidays at Mar-a-Lago. After chatting with reporters, Trump then went to dinner nearby at the Trump International golf course with Melania Trump, Priebus, Conway and spokeswoman Hope Hicks, according to The Hill.
Trump has not held a formal press conference since well before Election Day.
2020 Presidential Candidates, Ranked by Vegas Odds (Photos)
Donald Trump won't take office until Jan. 20, but gambling site Bovada is already thinking about the next election. Here are its top candidates to win the presidency in 2020, ranked from worst odds to best.
John Kasich 40/1 odds
Bovada ranks several Republicans, which means they would have to replace Trump as the Republican nominee. Ohio's governor famously skipped the GOP convention there because he didn’t support Donald Trump. Maybe Bovada thinks he could take on Trump in the 2020 Republican primary?
Note that several people are tied at 33-to-1 odds. Rubio, a Florida senator, famously feuded with Trump during the 2016 primaries, earning the nickname “little Marco.” Bovada has longshot odds on him replacing Trump.
The first Democrat on our list, she was just elected as a California senator after previously serving as the state’s attorney general. She'll only have four years of experience in 2020, but President Obama only had four years.
The Democratic senator-elect from Nevada will be the first Latina senator. Like Harris, she will only have had four years of Senate experience in 2020.
The outgoing vice president considered running against Hillary Clinton in 2016 but decided not to after the 2015 death of his son Beau. Biden is popular, particularly with working-class voters whom Trump lured from the Democrats. He'll be 77 in 2o20, which would make him the oldest person to win the presidency, if he won.
After coming losing the Democratic nomination in 2008 to Obama and coming so close in 2016, does the former secretary of state have it in her to try again? She'll turn 73 in 2020, but Trump is eight months older.
The New Jersey senator is a talented campaigner and speaker and one of the most prominent African-American Democrats. The New Jersey senator is also popular among his peers.
The Massachusetts senator could pick up supporters of the Sanders movement. She has feuded with Trump, but also expressed a willingness to work with him on certain issues.
The House Speaker is a star among traditional conservatives, but it will take a TV drama worth of surprises for him to somehow replace Trump as the presidential nominee, but that's true of every other Republican on this list, too.
