Watch: Trump hosts 'Summer Soiree' for supporters

President Trump is set to host a "Summer Soiree" Wednesday evening on the South Lawn of the White House.

The event has been billed as a way for Trump to thank his wide range of political appointees for their service. It comes as GOP lawmakers continue their efforts to advance the president's legislative priorities through the "big, beautiful" spending package before a July 4 deadline and as the administration continues to defend its sweeping tariffs and immigration agenda against critics.
