Week Ahead in Washington: August 2
The Senate faces a busy agenda before the August recess, including a potential confirmation vote for Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche and internal party conflicts over Trump's proposed IRS settlement. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicates the 'Save America Act' lacks sufficient support to pass, while Jay Clayton assumes the role of Director of National Intelligence. Trump is set to campaign in Nevada for the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' with primary races ongoing in multiple states.
