A number of lawmakers are set to take to the stage Sunday in the wake of reaching a government spending deal to avert a shutdown.
Trump is also set to make remarks at a “Festival of America” hosted by Turning Point USA early Sunday afternoon after he and his allies scuttled an initial spending deal that included several controversial measures, including a pay raise for lawmakers.
