Trump to discuss race one-on-one with African American senator

Scott sought the meeting before Charlottesville, sources tell Axios’ Jonathan Swan:

The senator hopes that exposing Trump to new views — and a life story vastly different from Trump’s privileged upbringing — will lead to a broader White House conversation on issues affecting minority communities, including historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), poverty, and the overall direction of the country on race.

But first, Scott plans to tell the president his own story in “very personal” terms, and underscore how seriously he took what Trump said, and didn’t say, after Charlottesville.
