A military parade featuring tanks and aircraft flyovers will not be attended by a raft of GOP lawmakers, with most returning to their home states for the Army’s 250th anniversary.

In interviews with around a dozen congressional Republicans, none indicated plans to attend the Saturday military parade, which coincides with President Donald Trump‘s 79th birthday. The offices of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), and other GOP leaders also confirmed they will depart Washington at the end of the congressional workweek.
