GOP Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Rick Scott of Florida are separately headed to the White House Monday afternoon to meet with President Donald Trump about the pending Republican megabill, according to two people granted anonymity to describe the private plans.

Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, another conservative Republican who has aired issues with the legislation, was also set to meet with Trump earlier Monday.

It’s a sign that GOP leaders are already working to keep their most vocal conservative critics behind the “big, beautiful bill” ahead of expected Senate votes later in the week.
