Senate Returns Today for Final Legislative Sprint Ahead of Midterms
Lawmakers face a short list of votes on digital assets, college athletics and artificial intelligence as pressure builds before the midterms.
- The Senate returns to Washington Monday from a five-week recess to advance cryptocurrency legislation, college sports reform, and pending nominees before the midterms, giving Republicans limited time to act.
- After securing government funding through Dec. 11, lawmakers successfully avoided a shutdown until after November's midterm elections, freeing the chamber to focus on other legislative priorities.

- Major legislative items remain stalled, with Congress unable to reach compromise on Defense Department funding for the Iran war or the National Defense Authorization Act, while post-election results will determine whether Democrats and Republicans can negotiate major bills.
