“Congress is on break for several weeks, but you can hardly blame Republicans if they spend most of it vexing over a lengthy to-do list for when they’re back in Washington,” Bloomberg reports.
“The House has just 16 legislative days left, and the Senate 14, before the November elections. That means Republicans in both chambers will need to jockey for coveted floor votes on their pet projects in September and October.”
“With scant time, many lawmakers will inevitably be disappointed.”
Bloomberg: Lame duck Congress will struggle to get much done.
