About 30 Democratic members of Congress spent the weekend at a winter retreat in Puerto Rico with more than 100 lobbyists and corporate executives, undeterred as the ongoing partial shutdown—now in its 23rd day—broke records for being the longest in U.S. history.
The lawmakers were attending a Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Bold PAC winter retreat, where they also planned to see a performance of the Broadway show “Hamilton” and take part in parties, including one with the show’s cast.
