Vice President JD Vance stopped by the Capitol to speak with GOP senators at their weekly policy lunch, making news on both the government shutdown and the Senate’s forthcoming votes on blocking President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

At least a half-dozen GOP senators pressed Vance about the move and Trump’s Truth Social post in which he insulted American farmers and ranchers who expressed their opposition to the new policy, according to two senators in the room.
