WASHINGTON – President Trump, Vice President Vance and first lady Melania Trump are set to commemorate Veterans Day at Arlington National Cemetery. The Trumps are set to participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at 11 a.m. EST, and the president will deliver remarks 30 minutes later.
The sprawling military burial ground has recently been at the center of the debate surrounding the president’s proposed triumphal arch. Some critics of the 250-foot structure argue it would cast a shadow over a portion of the historic cemetery — where over 400,000 people are buried, including former presidents and other prominent political figures.
Nine members of the Kennedy family Tuesday joined a lawsuit seeking to prevent the arch’s construction.
The House and Senate are both in session today. House Republicans on Tuesday elected Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to lead the minority in the 120th Congress, a shift from Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) leadership team after a crushing midterm loss.
The House Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development will hold a hearing on “the rise of sports gambling on college campuses,” slated to begin at 10:15 a.m.
