House Will Be In Session One More Week

Playbook: “The House overhauled its schedule for the month of December. It will come into session Wednesday evening, and the last votes of the week will come Friday. Lawmakers are being asked to stay in D.C. over the weekend, as the chamber tries to finish its work for the year by as early as Dec. 7.”

“Government funding runs out Dec. 11. Covid-19 is raging, and that plays a part in the House trying to do its biz quickly and get out of town early this month. That makes any major Covid relief seem very far off — although a tailored measure extending some programs could ride alongside government funding.”
