POLITICO surveyed 50 Hill Republicans. Only seven said they’d stick around Saturday for the show.

President Donald Trump is celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary — and his own 79th birthday — with a massive, multimillion-dollar military parade Saturday in Washington.

But one group of otherwise devoted Trump allies largely won’t be there to celebrate: congressional Republicans.

Among the 50 GOP lawmakers surveyed by POLITICO, only seven said they planned to stay in Washington this weekend for the festivities. Those begging off include members of the Republican leadership in both chambers.

The chairs of the House and Senate Armed Services committees, the top congressional officials overseeing the military, are skipping Trump’s pageantry, which includes a flyover of vintage and contemporary warplanes. Instead, they’ll attend a different air show — the annual defense industry confab in Paris.

Nobody's gonna show up for this thing.
