“John Thune has a long to-do list, a shrinking runway for getting it done and a president in the peanut gallery,” Politico reports.
“The Senate is back Monday with only two more weeks — more realistically, eight legislative days — in town until the chamber leaves Washington through mid-September.”
“The majority leader wants to clear a government funding stopgap, a long-stalled Russia sanctions bill and dozens of nominees, but he’s also facing pressure from President Donald Trump and some of his right flank to make progress on the SAVE America Act, a GOP election bill that doesn’t have the votes to pass.”
Semafor: Everyone wants something from Thune.
