House GOP cuts 2 weeks from its schedule
The revised calendar leaves just four days of House business before lawmakers depart to campaign ahead of the midterm elections.
- House GOP leadership canceled the final two weeks of September votes on Thursday, shifting members' departure to Sept. 17 and ensuring they will not return until after the November midterm election.
- Earlier this week, lawmakers passed a continuing resolution to fund federal agencies until December, sending the bill to President Donald Trump's desk and averting a government shutdown ahead of midterms.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson continues managing an unruly caucus after a debate rule nearly failed when five Republicans defected; Reps. Marie Glusenkamp Perez and Jared Golden crossed party lines to advance the legislation.
- Republicans face mounting pressure over Trump's increasingly unpopular war in Iran and rising living costs, while polling shows Democrats currently poised to win control of the House in November.
- Minority Whip Katherine Clark noted the schedule shift deviates from House Majority Leader Steve Scalise's previously announced calendar, leaving the chamber with only four days of legislative work before elections.
