Punchbowl News: “Congress will be gone after today until mid-November.”
“It’s a little earlier than normal — about a week — if you go back and look at when previous Congresses passed a CR that allowed lawmakers to head back home to run for reelection.”
“Yet the thing about this Congress is that it hasn’t done anything for months anyway.”
Playbook: “Today will be escape day for both the House and Senate, with passage of a three-month continuing resolution now all but assured. The House will go first with a suspension vote this evening, and the Senate has already pre-negotiated how things will go once the bill comes across the Capitol: two hours of debate followed by a single up-or-down vote — and you can expect plenty of that debate time to get yielded back. See you in November!”
