In a closed-door meeting, former President Donald Trump reportedly sought to reassure top leaders of the Mississippi Alliance of Home Educators (MAHA), a conservative group that has been critical of his administration's handling of education policy. According to sources, Trump's meeting with MAHA officials was an effort to repair damaged relationships and ease concerns over his stance on issues like school choice and federal overreach in education. The meeting comes as Trump continues to court conservative voters and build support for a potential 2024 presidential run. As the nation's top home-schooling advocate, MAHA's backing could be crucial for Trump's campaign, but the organization's leaders have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with his education policies in the past.
