Senate Republicans Scramble for August Recess Plan

“Senate Republicans are scrambling for a plan to exit Washington for a five-week August recess that won’t anger President Trump, who has demanded they stay in town for as long as necessary to pass a reconciliation blueprint and elements of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act,” NewsNation reports.

“Both items have little chance of success.”

“Republicans left a lunch meeting Tuesday afternoon frustrated by the lack of a clear plan to wrap up the July work period, which has now stretched into August.”

Said Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA): “To be honest, it was a pretty worthless meeting. I have no idea where we are. If there’s a plan, they’re doing a really good job of hiding it.”
