It was the low point for a cam- paign that had been in steady de- cline for weeks. Less than 24 hours earlier, an 11- year-old recording of Donald J. Trump boasting about forcing himself on women had surfaced and gone viral. Now, on a Satur- day morning in October, his clos- est advisers had assembled in his Trump Tower apartment to dis- cuss what to do. The group included a handful of seasoned politicians and Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kush- ner, an Orthodox Jew who ordi- narily observes the Sabbath strictly. While the others — Gov. Chris Christie, Rudolph W. Giuliani, Reince Priebus — emphasized the gravity of the situation, urging Mr. Trump to express contrition, Mr. Kushner reminded him of what he had built. Amid the discussions, the Republican candidate briefly went down to greet 100 or so sup- porters gathered in front of the building. “There’s 2,500 people down there,” Mr. Trump told his advis- ers when he returned. “Those are the people who are going to elect you president,” Mr. Kushner replied, opting not to cor- rect the candidate’s crowd esti- mate. “Don’t worry about the In-Law With Outsize Power: Kushner Is a Steadying Hand By JONATHAN MAHLER and MAGGIE HABERMAN Continued on Page 28 BEDMINSTER, N.J. — Presi- dent-elect Donald J. Trump on Saturday moved to mend fences with political rivals after a divisive campaign, meeting with Mitt Romney, who had scathingly criti- cized him during the race as “a phony” and “a fraud,” to discuss naming him as secretary of state. The outreach signaled a change in tone one day after Mr. Trump moved to elevate hard-liners to pivotal national security posi- tions. It was not clear whether Mr. Trump had offered the State De- partment post to Mr. Romney, or whether Mr. Romney, who has broken sharply with him on Rus- sia, free trade and other issues, would accept if he did. But some strategists argued that merely by reaching out to Mr. Romney, Mr. Trump was demon- strating an openness to new peo- ple and ideas, even from the un- likeliest of sources. It may also have been intended to inject the sort of unpredictability and spec- tacle into the transition process that the president-elect thrives on. During a weekend of transition talks at Trump National Golf Club here in Bedminster, Mr. Trump was scheduled to hold a series of discussions with what his aides described as a diverse array of po- tential advisers. The conversa- tions were aimed at showing that the president-elect was willing to look beyond his loyal inner circle to fill his administration. Among the others who sat down with Mr. Trump were Michelle A. Rhee, a Democrat who served as the chancellor of public schools in the District of Columbia from 2007 to 2010; Robert L. Woodson, an Af- rican-American conservative who works on community-based anti- poverty programs; James N. Mat- tis, a retired Marine Corps general who headed the United States Central Command and is being considered for the post of defense secretary; and Todd Ricketts, an owner of the Chicago Cubs.

Mr. Trump, who has stirred bi- partisan concern over his habit of attacking those who challenge him, said on Twitter that the ac- tors had “harassed” Mr. Pence, and he issued a battle cry to his supporters by saying that the mu- sical’s cast had criticized “our wonderful future VP Mike Pence.” He continued to assail the show on Twitter on Saturday night, writing that the actors had been “very rude and insulting” to Mr. Pence and claiming that they “couldn’t even memorize lines” — though he offered no evidence and then deleted the message.
