The Trump administration and GOP are regrouping after the loss of the House and Senate, with the White House posting an emotional compilation on social media Wednesday evening captioned, “Lock in, patriots. We’ve only just begun.”

The president will hold several policy meetings and a signing time Thursday at the White House.
