Watch Live: Donald Trump Holds Lunch with Senate Republicans as Democrat Shutdown Continues

President Donald Trump hosts a lunch meeting with Senate Republicans in the White House Rose Garden as the Democrat shutdown continues on Tuesday, October 21.

Democrats voted once again on Monday not to pass a clean continuing resolution to re-open and fund the government.

House Speaker Mike Johnson again called for Democrats to stop holding the American people hostage over ludicrous demands like free health care for illegal immigrants. He noted the irony of the “No Kings” protests over the weekend, observing, “If President Trump was a king, the government would be open.”
