Trump meets with Kelli Ward at Mar-a-Lago
President Trump reportedly met with GOP Senate candidate Kelli Ward at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Friday.
ABC News's Tara Palmeri tweeted that Trump met with the insurgent Arizona candidate shortly after arriving at his Palm Beach estate, where he's spending the holidays.
Ward tweeted earlier Friday that she was happy to see Trump arrive at Mar-a-Lago for the holidays, saying he needs some "celebratory time" with family and friends.
Ward, who launched a bid to challenge Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) earlier this year, is backed by Trump's former White House chief strategist, Stephen Bannon.
Bannon is recruiting and supporting candidates to challenge sitting Republican lawmakers he considers too cozy with the party's establishment wing.
Flake, a vocal critic of Trump, announced in October that he would not run for reelection, citing disparities between his own brand of conservatism and that of Trump and Bannon.

Trump visits golf club on first day of Christmas visit to Mar-a-Lago
Trump emphasized that he is on a "working vacation" while in Florida. He often works from his golf properties.
Trump broke tradition on Friday when he departed for the holidays without holding a year-end press conference before leaving Washington, D.C.
A White House official who declined to be named said Friday that Trump and his team passed on the press conference because they did not want to detract from positive media coverage after the passing of the GOP's tax reform plan, which Trump signed into law Friday.
While in transit, the president announced his support for Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), who is considering a run to be Florida's governor.
"Congressman Ron DeSantis is a brilliant young leader, Yale and then Harvard Law, who would make a GREAT Governor of Florida. He loves our Country and is a true FIGHTER!" Trump tweeted.
