Live updates: Australian PM to visit White House; Senate tries again on shutdown vote

President Trump on Monday will host Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the White House as the government shutdown stretches into Week 4.

The duo is slated to discuss defense and rare earth minerals as the U.S. races to catch up with China’s sector dominance.

Later in the day, the Louisiana State University baseball team will stop by the White House in honor of their 2025 National Championship win.

The Senate this evening is also set to vote for the 11th time on the stopgap funding measure to reopen the federal government on Day 20 of the shutdown.

This week, military pay will take center stage as Senate Majority John Thune (R-S.D.) looks to force Democrats to vote on the Trump-backed effort, part of the GOP’s uncompromising shutdown strategy.

Senate Democrats on Capitol Hill, meanwhile, will likely field questions on this weekend’s “No Kings” protests as some centrists express weariness over the massive anti-Trump rallies amid the shutdown stalemate.
