“My husband and I are pleased to welcome Members of Congress and their families to the people’s house,” Trump said in a White House press release. “I look forward to an evening together that will highlight our New York home by bringing a piece of New York City to Washington, D.C.”

“With the recent and tragic shooting at the Congressional baseball game practice last week, it is more important than ever that we spend time together not as politicians, but as colleagues and friends,” the first lady added. “We will continue to keep Congressman [Steve] Scalise, his family, and all who were injured in our thoughts and prayers as we come together tonight united through this unthinkable tragedy.”

The theme at this year’s event was “Picnic in the Park,” modeled after a summer evening in New York’s Central Park.

The first lady shared a picture on Instagram before the evening’s festivities began of a patriotic-themed carousel on the South Lawn. The caption next to the post read, “Looking forward to this evening’s Congressional “Picnic in the Park” @Whitehouse !”
