Trump's Lavish Birthday Parade Snubbed by GOP Lawmakers | JQJO

Despite a near $50 million military parade planned for Donald Trump's 79th birthday, celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary, many Republican lawmakers are skipping the event. A Politico survey revealed only seven out of 50 GOP lawmakers plan to attend. Reasons cited include prior commitments and disapproval of the parade's style, described by Senator Rand Paul as "goose-stepping." While some, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, will attend, key figures like Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise will be absent. The White House anticipates a large crowd, despite potential limited coverage from major television networks.
