“Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is grappling with an attendance issue as lawmakers begin to prioritize the 2026 midterms, potentially complicating the passage of key measures in the months ahead,” The Hill reports.
“The predicament was on full display this week: 22 Republicans did not vote for any bills on Tuesday, followed by seven on Wednesday and five on Thursday. By comparison, 21 Democrats did not vote for any bills on Tuesday, followed by six on Wednesday and nine on Thursday.”
