Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday told reporters that he and his family have been uninvited to the annual White House picnic for members of Congress and their family, which is slated for Thursday.
The senator, who is usually an ally of President Donald Trump, has recently been criticizing the president’s “One, Big, Beautiful Bill.” The sweeping legislation can only afford to lose a handful votes in both chambers.
Paul claimed that he discovered the change when he called the White House about picking up his tickets for the bipartisan picnic, which he and his family were planning to attend.
“I think I’m the first senator in the history of the United States to be uninvited to the White House picnic,” Paul said. “Every Democrat will be invited, every Republican will be invited, but I will be the only one disallowed to come on the grounds of the White House.”
The annual event is held on the South Lawn of the White House and is a chance for members of Congress and their families to meet the president and his staff in a more relaxed setting.
