President Donald Trump is expected to host Senate Republicans for a Rose Garden lunch Tuesday, while the ongoing partial government shutdown continues to have no end in sight.
A GOP source confirmed the plan for the White House visit, which comes as the Senate majority will also try this week to call up a bill that would pay federal workers who are on the job during the shutdown. The Senate this week is also expected to continue to confirm Trump’s judicial nominees.
The House, meanwhile, continues to be out of session. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has showed no signs of changing course toward recalling lawmakers before the Senate passes government funding legislation.
