Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV) did not let the ongoing government shutdown prevent him from holding a birthday party for his dog in a Senate office building.
Correspondent Daniella Diaz confirmed that the party for Babydog Justice took place in the Hart Senate Office Building on Wednesday.
An invitation to the event promised cake and "belly rub diplomacy." The 6-year-old English Bulldog has been a fixture on Capitol Hill since Justice took office. The dog also appeared on stage at the Republican National Convention in 2024.
A long line of people was seen at the Hart Office Building waiting to get into the party.
