A Sprint to the August Recess

Punchbowl News: “Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Friday that the Senate would not begin considering a fiscal 2022 budget resolution until July.”

“If that’s the case, they will have to crunch to get that done ahead of the August recess. Remember: to take advantage of budget reconciliation and the 51-vote threshold, both chambers need to pass the same budget. Add this to the stack of legislative issues Schumer has to get done during this very, very busy summer.”
