Senate’s summer pileup is threatening a quick recess escape
The Senate faces delays in adjourning for a five-week recess due to a backlog of legislation, stalled bills, and pressure from President Donald Trump and conservatives to advance a GOP election bill. Republican leaders, including Majority Leader John Thune, are working toward an exit strategy involving a vote on the SAVE America Act, though progress on funding and nomination issues remains uncertain.
