- President Donald Trump plans to travel to California to survey the wildfire damage in his first presidential visit since his inauguration. He is also expected to visit North Carolina and Nevada.
- The Senate is expected to vote tonight on whether to confirm Pete Hegseth as defense secretary. The vote is likely to be close after two Republican senators, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, said yesterday they couldn’t support him amid concerns about his treatment of women and alcohol use and a sexual assault allegation. He has denied any wrongdoing.
- Hegseth’s comments about women in the military have also drawn ire. He repeatedly suggested last year that women should not serve in combat roles, though he sought to walk back that position at his confirmation hearing last week.
- Trump is also expected to virtually address anti-abortion demonstrators at the annual March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to attend in person.
